Colombia

Signature Dish: Ajiaco Santafereño (Chicken and Potato Soup)
Ajiaco santafereño is a culinary symbol of Bogotá and a symbol of the capital's identity. It links Muisca pre-Hispanic potato cultivation with Spanish colonial additions of chicken and cream. Bandeja paisa evolved from arriero (muleteer) meals—high-calorie food for farmers walking mountain routes—and represents Paisa regional identity and values of abundance and tradition.
