What are the specialties of Colombia?
1, emerald
When traveling to Colombia, don't forget to bring back "Colombian Emerald". Colombian emeralds are the most precious gems in the world because of their transparent colors, bright green and attractive beauty. Of course, the price of Colombian emeralds is still much cheaper than that in China, which is about half of the domestic price. In Bogota's Gemstone Street, you can find a professional gemologist to take you to make the unique emerald jewelry in the world.
2. Baked ants in Colombia
Roasted ants are a unique food in the Republic of Colombia. In the local area, people use a kind of food called "big-ass ant" as baking material, which is crispy and delicious, full of juice and rich in protein. This kind of ant is only produced in Santander province. Long before the Spanish arrived in America, the local Indians had a record of eating ants.
3. Colombian coffee
Colombia is an important coffee producer and exporter in the world. The most popular coffee is pure coffee, but there are still many local nuts and chocolate flavors that are unforgettable. Do you remember the advertisement for Dove Chocolate? What really makes me feel silky is Colombian coffee. Think about what it's like to taste coffee in a cafe on the street in Colombia. It is the best choice for petty bourgeoisie, especially with snacks that Colombians love to eat. It is very enjoyable.
4.longjiu
There is a famous local wine called Longjiu, and its taste is also very local in Colombia. I suggest you try it when you come.
