Fabio is very fond of gastronomy, he solved many doubts, we toured the Bazurto market, we drank natural juices and ate local food, then we toured the neighborhood of Getsemaní with several places to eat what he recommended us. I recommend the experience

We met Fabio, very punctual. We took a bus ride to a kind of market, place I must admit that we did not imagine being in a normal situation hahaha, something different and exotic food for the brave, and I insist on the different because at least for me it is the first time. Tasty food, my family enjoyed it. On the way back to the most central part of the city, he showed us and explained every place we passed in terms of food and history and recommended several exquisite places.
