High-Altitude Flavors: Pamplona Cuisine and Mother's Day Celebrations at Hotel Cariongo

BY Veronica Ibarra / Aug. 31, 2026

In the heart of the Andes Mountains, where history and tradition intertwine with dreamlike landscapes, there is a place where good taste and hospitality are served at the table with the same care a mother uses to pamper her children: Hotel Cariongo. With locations in Pamplona and Chinácota—two gems of the Norte de Santander department—this hotel has become a gastronomic haven for those seeking more than just a place to stay: a complete experience for the senses.

‍

To speak of Hotel Cariongo is to speak of tradition, but also of innovation. Of roots, but also of wings. Especially when it comes to celebrating a day as special as Mother’s Day—a time of year that is honored in these parts not once, but twice! Because while the whole world pays tribute to moms on the second Sunday in May, the mothers of Norte de Santander—as unique as their land—celebrate it again on the last Sunday of the month. And who’s going to argue with a mom from this region? They’re right… always.

A Tradition to Savor: Pamplona Cuisine

Pamplona's cuisine is, without a doubt, one of the most delicious gems of eastern Colombia. Influenced by its indigenous Chitarero roots, Spanish heritage, and the region's rural character, its cuisine invites you to pause, sit back, and let yourself be surprised by flavors that tell stories.

Among its most iconic dishes are changua with farm-fresh eggs, corn arepas, hearty soups that warm the soul, and traditionally cured meats. Each bite evokes the chill of the morning mist, the warmth of a wood-burning stove, and the love of grandmothers who, with steady, wise hands, carry on centuries-old recipes.

And it is precisely that spirit that Restaurante Chitarero, the culinary heart of Hotel Cariongo, has managed to capture.

Chitarero Restaurant: The Flavor of Our Roots

Located at the hotel's locations in both Pamplona and Chinácota, Restaurante Chitarero is much more than just a dining room: it is a tribute to local culture. Its name pays homage 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 it without altering it.

Here, every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients—many of which are grown locally—using techniques that blend traditional wisdom with modern creativity. Throughout the month of May, and especially during the Mother's Day celebrations, the restaurant will offer a special buffet featuring a selection of the best of Pamplona's cuisine, carefully chosen international dishes, and a culinary experience designed for families to enjoy together.

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

Hulago Pastry Shop: A Taste of Italian Cuisine in the Andes

Hulago Bakery pleasantly surprises with its authentic Italian flavor, specializing in artisanal pasta and oven-baked pizzas, made with fresh ingredients and a technique that honors Mediterranean traditions.

This spot is ideal for those looking for a warm, casual meal with character—perfect for enjoying with family after a hike through the mountains of Pamplona or watching the sunset in Chinácota. The combination of great food, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere makes Hulago a must-visit part of the Hotel Cariongo dining experience.

A welcome cocktail and a charming touch

Because moms always deserve the best, every mother who visits Hotel Cariongo on Mother's Day will receive a welcome cocktail, prepared by our mixologists with fresh regional fruits and a blend of smooth, aromatic spirits. Here's to them—for their love, their strength, and their boundless sense of humor.

Since everything at Hotel Cariongo is designed with care, every mother will also receive a special token. A symbolic gift that reflects the affection we feel for them and the hotel's commitment to our region's traditions.

Two locations, one unique experience

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

Each hotel location offers comfortable rooms, personalized service, and a prime location. In Pamplona, guests can stroll through the cobblestone streets of the historic center, visit museums, churches, and plazas that tell the story of Colombia. In Chinácota, the pace is different: relax in the warm climate, enjoy the mountain scenery, go on nature hikes, and unwind by the pool.

Both locations will offer a special Mother's Day buffet, featuring live music, themed decor, and a festive yet family-friendly atmosphere. Because here, we welcome more than just guests—we welcome families—and we want to create memories, not just host an event.

Just one Mother's Day? Two is better!

In many parts of the world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. But in Norte de Santander, as we’ve mentioned, things are different. Here, mothers are so admirable, so unique, and so powerful that one day isn't enough. They have their own special day! The last Sunday of the month becomes another opportunity to pamper them, thank them, and remember everything they do for us.

So, if you weren't able to celebrate on the second Sunday, or if you simply want the perfect excuse to celebrate again, Hotel Cariongo welcomes you throughout the month of May. Two Sundays, two celebrations, but one shared sentiment: gratitude and love for our mothers.

Reserve your spot for this unforgettable celebration

Space is limited, and if we’ve learned anything, it’s that our Mother’s Day celebrations fill up very quickly! So, if you want to secure your table, enjoy the best buffet in the region, and surprise your mom with a welcome cocktail, live music, artisanal gifts, and an unparalleled dining experience, we invite you to message our reservations line.

Celebrating Mom shouldn't just be a gesture; it should be an experience. And that is precisely what we offer: a space filled with flavor, music, beautiful details, and an atmosphere designed for sharing, laughing, toasting, and making memories.

Because if there is one thing that defines our region, it is the care we put into everything we do. From our dishes to our rooms, from our 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 in Norte de Santander! And especially to those resilient, loving, and unique mothers who celebrate their day on the last Sunday of the month. This May is for you.
