Anyone Who Has Ever Been To Colombia Is Guilty Of Bringing These Regalitos Back
When family, friends, or you visit Colombia, everyone will obviously bring back the real goods like arequipe, aguardiente and chocolate. But you better believe the Colombian treats do not end there, because this country is full of glorious regalitos with colors and textures that will have all your non-Colombian friends jealous.
