The Parrillada: Colombia's Finca BBQ Tradition

A Colombian finca without a BBQ zone is like a beach without sand, technically possible, but why? The parrillada (group grill session) is one of the defining social rituals of finca culture. A covered kiosk with a charcoal or gas grill, prep counter, sink, and seating for the group is standard on most mid-range and luxury fincas.

What to buy for the parrillada: Chorizo antioqueño, morcilla, chunchurria (intestine, a Colombian classic), chicken, steak (punta de anca or chatas), arepas, potatoes for the grill, and plenty of limón for the ají. Budget COP 20,000–30,000/person ($5–8) for a generous spread.
