Cook with purpose, rooted in Cartagena

Taste & Transform is a private culinary experience that connects Cartagena's food culture with local community garden initiatives.

The experience begins at Lunático Experience in Getsemaní. Guests visit a local community garden connected to Fundación Granitos de Paz / Patios Productivos, learn about local ingredients and food initiatives, and then return to Lunático to cook Colombian Caribbean recipes inspired by the visit.

This experience is designed for private groups who want a meaningful culinary activity with cultural context, local ingredients and a responsible contribution model.
