Colombia Drinks
Colombia is known for its coffee, and whether you drink it regularly both at home and not, make sure to sample it while going to the country. Tintos are extremely small glasses of coffee which are often in love with the streets, from thermoses. Sometimes you’ll see vendors rolling shopping carts having a dozen or even more thermoses around, attempting to keep up with demand.
