The Swindian

South America

I spent 6 months backpacking across South America, and as you can imagine, a lot of food was had!

General tips for eating whilst backpacking are here.

Argentina

• Asado in Buenos Aires – a truly authentic experience
• Cycling and drinking our way around Mendoza (the home of Malbec)

Bolivia

• Impressions of the Mercado Central in Sucre
• Gustu – culinary inspiration in La Paz

Colombia

• Sunday brunch at the W Hotel in Bogota, Colombia – a worthwhile indulgence
• OCI (Medellin, Colombia) – upmarket dining at reasonable prices 
• Postcards from Cartagena, Colombia – the city of colours

Peru

• Astrid y Gaston – my best meal ever (Lima)
• ChaqChao – a chocolate experience in Arequipa
• Isolina – a beloved Barranco tavern in Lima, Peru
• Limo – Peruvian-Japanese fusion in Cusco
• Malabar – tantalising textures in Lima
• MAP Café – colonial courtyards and creative cuisine in Cusco
• Peruvian classics with Sky Kitchen – a cooking class in Lima

A happy Swindian at Astrid y Gaston, the number 7 restaurant in Latin America
