Sabores de Altura: Pamplona Food and Mother's Day Celebration at the Hotel Cariongo

A tradition to be savored: food from Pamplona

Pamplona's gastronomy is, without a doubt, one of the most delicious jewels of eastern Colombia. Influenced by the indigenous Chitaro roots, the Spanish heritage and the peasant soul of the region, its cuisine is an invitation to stop, sit calmly and let yourself be surprised by flavors that tell stories.

Among its most emblematic dishes are changua with peasant eggs, peeled corn arepas, thick soups that comfort the soul and meats cured in the traditional style. Each bite evokes the cold of the morning mist, the warmth of a wood-burning stove and the affection of the grandmothers who, with firm and wise hands, perpetuate centuries-old recipes.

And it is precisely this spirit that has been captured by the Chitarero Restaurant, the gastronomic soul of the Hotel Cariongo.

RestauranteChitarero: the flavor of our roots

Located at the hotel's locations in both Pamplona and Chinácota, the Chitarero Restaurant is much more than a dining room: it is a tribute to the local culture. Its name pays tribute to the indigenous people who inhabited these lands long before the arrival of the colonizers, and its menu celebrates the authenticity of our cuisine, with contemporary touches that enrich without altering.

Here, each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients, many of them grown in the region, and with techniques that combine ancestral wisdom with modern creativity. Throughout the month of May, and especially on Mother's Day celebrations, the restaurant will offer a special buffet, with a selection of the best of Pamplona's cuisine, carefully chosen international dishes, and a culinary experience designed to be shared with the family.

 To make the evening even more special, the restaurant will feature live music, a selection of local artists, creating the perfect atmosphere to celebrate mothers with the love they deserve.

Pasticería Hulago: the corner of Italian cuisine in the Andes

Pasticería Hulago pleasantly surprises with its authentic Italian flavor, specializing in handmade pastas and baked pizzas, made with fresh ingredients and a technique that respects the Mediterranean traditions.

This space is ideal for those looking for a warm, informal meal with character, perfect to enjoy with the family after a walk in the mountains of Pamplona or a sunset in Chinácota. The combination of good food, close attention and a relaxed atmosphere make Hulago a must in the gastronomic experience at Hotel Cariongo.

A welcome cocktail and a detail to fall in love with

Because mom always deserves the best, every mother who visits Hotel Cariongo during the celebration day will receive a welcome cocktail, prepared by our mixologists with fresh fruits from the region and a combination of soft and aromatic liquors. A toast to them, for their love, strength and infinite sense of humor.

 And since everything at Hotel Cariongo is thought from the heart, each mother will also receive a special gift. A symbolic gift that reflects the affection we feel for them and the hotel's commitment to the traditions of our region.

Two venues, one unique experience

Whether in Pamplona, with its colonial air and cool climate, or in Chinácota, with its summer atmosphere and landscapes that invite you to relax, Hotel Cariongo offers a lodging experience that combines comfort, gastronomy and culture.

Each hotel has comfortable rooms, personalized attention and a privileged location. In Pamplona, guests can walk the cobblestone streets of the historic center, visit museums, churches and squares that tell the history of Colombia. In Chinácota, the plan is different: rest in a warm climate, enjoy the mountain scenery, take ecological hikes and relax by the pool.

Both venues will offer a special Mother's Day buffet, and will feature live musical programming, themed décor and a festive yet family-friendly atmosphere. Because here, more than guests, we welcome families, and more than an event, we want to create memories.

One Mother's Day? Better two!

In many parts of the world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. But in Norte de Santander, as we have already mentioned, things are different. Here, mothers are so admirable, so unique and so powerful, that they are not satisfied with just one day - they have their own! The last Sunday of the month becomes, once again, a date to pamper them, to thank them and to remember all they do for us.

So if you were not able to celebrate the second Sunday, or if you simply want a perfect excuse to repeat the tribute, Hotel Cariongo opens its doors for the whole month of May. Two Sundays, two celebrations, but only one feeling: gratitude and love for our mothers.

Reserve your place in this unforgettable celebration.

Capacity is limited, and if there's one thing we've learned, it's that our celebrations for mom fill up fast! So if you want to secure your table, enjoy the best buffet in the region, surprise your mom with a welcome cocktail, live music, handcrafted details and an unparalleled dining experience, we invite you to write to our reservations number.

 Ask about room availability in Pamplona or Chinácota, check the special buffet schedule and choose the perfect moment to pay tribute to that wonderful woman who gave you life (or to those other mothers who also deserve recognition: grandmothers, aunts, godmothers, sisters... they all have a place in this celebration).

At Hotel Cariongo, every mother is the guest of honor.

Celebrating mom should not just be a gesture, but an experience. And that is precisely what we offer you: a space full of flavor, music, beautiful details and an environment designed to share, laugh, toast and remember.

Because if there is something that defines our region, it is the love with which we do things. From our dishes to our rooms, from customer service to every flower that adorns our tables, everything is designed to honor the greatest legacy we have: the unconditional love of our mothers.

 Happy Mother's Day to all the moms of Norte de Santander! And especially to those unique, loving, barracas mothers who celebrate their day on the last Sunday of the month. This May is for you.
