Salpicón

Salpicón is one of our favourite "snacks" after sports, after a walk in the park, or basically anytime. It's easy to find - there are several "salpicón stands" around the park - and the big cup costs about 2000 pesos, which is about 80 cents.

In Colombian cuisine, salpicón is a fruit cocktail beverage made with a base of water (soda water) or orange juice. It consists of mixed chopped up fruit such as banana, papaya, watermelon and mango, among others.

And it's fresh and sweet and tasty - therefore, also the perfect dessert, especially on a hot summer day!
