WE LOVE BOGOTÁ - spending our last day in Usaquén and getting locals to try hormigas culonas

[@adolfosierra9762]

I could say this is my favourite vlog from Bogota. I love the editing skills, the way you guys highlight the people with the 3 second video shots. The chemistry between the 2 of you is amazing too, how you are able to educate the viewers about the history of every place you visit. And last but not least I really have enjoyed how you guys have tried to connect with the colombian people. Great job!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for making our day Adolfo 🥰 Your comments are the push we needed to keep trying to push out these daily vlogs! Really appreciate your compliments 🙏

@@SammyandTommy My pleasure! :)

[@kassideerich]

It brings me so joy to see your many interactions with the locals! That is what travel is all about, and it can often be lost in many people's travels and/or videos. Thank you for sharing it all with us! The ant eating clips were the best. 🤣

[@SammyandTommy]

Couldn’t agree more! It’s brings us so much joy to meet new people and share special moments with them. A lot of times it’s hard to capture those moments on camera but we are excited to introduce more of this this in future videos. The locals trying the ants were by far the highlight of the video 😂 What a great memory!

[@kassideerich]

That is so true! I’m sure it is difficult to capture on camera. You guys do a great job at it though!! ☺️

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank you! It’s a big goal of mine to improve on. You cannot capture a place without including the people.

[@RoxyArietis]

Loved the interaction with locals ♥the girls at the end trying the ants were so cute. I've tried them once in a similar setting at school. It's so fun seeing everyone a bit grossed out but then the flavor not bad, kinda like peanuts.

[@SammyandTommy]

That was our favorite part as well! It was so fun to see everyone’s reactions 😂 You’re right very similar to peanuts. Thanks for sharing!

[@elenamayard9571]

Awww I love seeing everyone’s reactions to trying the ants, how fun!

[@SammyandTommy]

We had such a fun time! The locals trying the Nicki Minaj ants was the highlight for sure!

[@cirosalek392]

As a Colombian Bogotanian I can tell you guys went to all the right places, you experienced Bogotá at a 100%.

[@oscarvargas3500]

I live outside of my country, and watching this video filled my soul and heart with joy. You are always welcome in Colombia, and thank you for showing it to the world

[@diegocarvajal9181]

Please keep making this kind of videos. you have an incredible energy and I love that you dare to try everything. welcome to Colombia!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank so much Diego 🤗 Appreciate the warm welcome and compliments 💜

[@melissacaballero289]

I'm not sure I could eat an an insect but it was fun watching everyone do it and their reactions!! Love this vibrant market area too.

[@SammyandTommy]

Oh we could of peer pressured you 😉 The 🐜 are much better then they look. It was such a fun film day! Thanks for tuning in!

Never had them before but I know they sell them covered With dark chocolate mmmm

[@SergioH-e6i]

You guys seem like that cool couple you meet from time to time in the touristic places around Bogota, first time watching vids from your channel, certainly not the last. Had fun with it, thanks for visitting our country.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks Sergio 👋 We hope to see you again too! We are really loving our travels in your country so far!

[@darttek-b3w]

I used to work there (Usaquen market) selling some things my wife used to craft. And it is sad to see how they overprice things for you as foreigners. And everyone used to tell us we were greedy for keeping the same price always but we were actually charging the real price. either way... I loved the video. I feel really happy to see how you guys enjoyed Bogota, I really miss being there.

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

This was so fun! Street food desert is a lot like the Stroop waffels you get in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 but also with the cheese reminded of Marquesitas in Mexico 🇲🇽 except they make it fresh and hot and roll them like a burrito before it gets hard and put chocolate/ cheese instead of caramel My next door neighbours just came back from 3months in Colombia 🇨🇴 and loved it Thank you 🙏🏼 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@SammyandTommy]

It was a super fun day! Can't wait to try the strop waffles in Netherlands 🤤 Colombia was such a great time we can't recommend it enough! Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@quantumtherapy369]

Nice video! Thnx! I love Bogotá! You Rock!

[@wherestheparty_]

I started my Colombia trip 2 months and a half ago in Bogota and in a few days I go back to finish my trip there as well. In my 4 nights there I didn`t get to go to Usaquen and even though I had quite an altitude sickness then, this video makes me excited to go back!

[@SammyandTommy]

I bet you’re having an awesome time! The market is a lot of fun! Keep enjoying!

[@juanmesa5879]

Great Video! I laughed a lot with the ant part, and the market is pretty cool. Don't mind the guy who says the prices were too high. I purchased a mochila Arhuaca for 200K in 2010. It is hand made and it takes a long time to make them. One should acknowledge the work of artisans.

[@SammyandTommy]

Appreciate it Juan! We were laughing the entire time 😂 The big booty ants were definitely the highlight! We were fine paying for the prices we paid especially the ants. The experience was well worth the investment!

[@marianamoralesplazas966]

Hi the Ants are not a local dish for Bogota , this comes from another region called Santander. however because Bogota is the Capital City of Colombia then that's why you will find a mix of traditions brought from other regions for touristic display or for people who migrated to Bogota from other regions and do miss their traditions. :)

[@pedroprada1]

Great day trip... I love Usaquen... used to go all the time when I lived in Colombia... great restaurants... and great vibe...

[@SammyandTommy]

It was such a fun day! It was a great time looking at all the crafts and meeting some outgoing locals!

[@pedroprada1]

@@SammyandTommy i only tried Hormigas Culonas when I was little and went to Santander.... i didnt even know they sold them in Bogota.... From what I remember they were not that bad... its more the visual and texture that you worry about...

Most people probably have not tried them...

Greetings, like your video and welcome to Colombia. That´s cuz the big ass ants are only eaten in an specific region, called Santander as a lady told you her mom was from there and eats them frecuently. You should go visit, it is a nice region.

[@arkan5000]

You absolutely right Tom. The juices in Colombia are some of the best things to enjoy. They are always fresh and there are soooo many to try. Like when you go to eat somewhere and the list of juice flavors is like an entire page with like 30 options. Or when you decide to take fruit home. Sooo many to pick from. You could literally try a different fruit every day for a month and never have the same one twice.

[@SammyandTommy]

One of the many awesome things about Colombia! Couldn’t get enough of the fruit 🤤

[@k_and_m8745]

Happened to just find your channel today and decided to backup to Colombia. Enjoying your creativity, the capturing of people and information you provide. We live in Ecuador, originally from Canada. Loved the ant eating segment and wanted to mention that since I know you are/were in Ecuador, you may want to try the tiny snails Plaza de los Ponchos. There is a woman that walks around with a cart and they cost me $0.50 for the small bag, she even gave a sample before I bought. I have never enjoyed snailes before but these ones I could handle.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for making our day 🥰 Comments like these keep us motivated to keep creating! Thanks for the awesome suggestion about the snails. I gotta make Sammy try those! Happy New Years and thanks for the love 💜

Ormigas culonas are from Santander. That is why many of us Colombians have not tried them because they are not nationwide but from a specific region of Colombia (Santander).
