Vegan In Colombia (115 Restaurants Around The Country)
Planning a trip to Colombia and wondering if it’s vegan or vegetarian friendly?
As a former Colombia resident and traveler all around the country, I’ve got all the need to know details about eating in Colombia.
While Colombia isn’t the most allergy friendly country, and vegan food is generally more expensive and not quite as abundant, there are still some restaurant options around the country, even in small towns.
🇨🇴 Overview: Vegan In Colombia
As a former resident of Colombia, someone who eats a clean and restricted diet (allergies), and someone who’s traveled all over Colombia, I can share all the places to find vegan food in cities all around the country and give some Spanish tips to help in restaurants.
*️⃣ Tip: The cost of eating in Colombia is relatively cheap, but healthy, allergy friendly, or vegan will cost more, including products in the store (because most are imported).
