ESSENTIAL LATINO FOOD BRANDS
Pan Bimbo
Owned by Mexican food giant Grupo Bimbo, Pan Bimbo is the preferred bread brand of the region. Everyone loves the cute little bear in an apron and chef's hat that literally brings bread to the table.
The brand was established in 1945 and still dominates the bread market in Latin America. Of course, it sells all kinds of bread but you can also find tortillas and sweet breads.
Pan Bimbo has a presence in almost every country from Mexico to Ecuador. And even as far as Spain.
Mezcal
Often overshadowed by its more famous cousin, Tequila, Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit gaining popularity among connoisseurs. Smoky and complex, it’s crafted from various types of agave plants and can add an intriguing edge to your cocktail menu.
5. Michelada
Add a zesty twist to your beverage list with the Michelada, a beer cocktail from Mexico. Think of it as a Bloody Mary with a twist: a mixture of beer, lime juice, hot sauces, and spices served in a salt-rimmed glass. The Michelada is not just a drink—it’s a flavor-packed experience.
4. Horchata
Of all the non-alcoholic traditional Hispanic drinks, Horchata stands out. Originating from Valencia, Spain, this creamy, sweet beverage is made by soaking rice grains, often with almonds or other seeds, and then blending and straining the mixture. Cinnamon and vanilla often enrich the flavor, offering a comforting drink, perfect for a hot day.
3. Pisco Sour
Pisco Sour is a traditional Hispanic drink from Peru and Chile that strikes a balance between sweet and sour. Pisco, a grape brandy, is blended with lime juice, egg whites, simple syrup, and a few drops of Angostura bitters to create this frothy, refreshing cocktail.

2.TEQUILA

1. SANGRIA
A classic in the pantheon of famous Hispanic drinks, Sangria, hails from Spain. This refreshing concoction blends red wine with fresh fruits, a dash of brandy, and a hint of sweetness from sugar or honey. While traditionally served in the summer, it’s now a year-round favorite.
COMMON VERBS IN SPANISH
Haber
Used as an auxiliary verb that goes before other verbs, haber is used in the perfect tenses. An English equivalent is “to have.” Here’s an example sentence:
He comprado un teléfono nuevo. (“I have bought a new phone.”)
A special form of this verb, hay, is used to express “there is” and “there are” in Spanish. For example:
Hay café en la cocina. (“There is coffee in the kitchen.”)
Colombian Spanish: The “Easiest” Spanish Dialect
What are the differences between Colombian Spanish and Standard Spanish?
There aren’t many! With a shared grammar and vocabulary, the Spanish dialects that you are already familiar with will be easy to apply to Spanish in Colombia, as the majority of communication will be mutually understood. Knowing a few particularities of Spanish in Colombia will help you connect with the locals.
Preference for Usted
If you’ve taken a Spanish course, you may have learned about the five (yes, five!) ways to say “you.” Formal vs. informal, singular vs. plural, Latin American vs. Peninsular Spanish, and even masculine vs. feminine… it’s easy to get confused. Even though it is usually taught that tú is for friends and family and usted is for people you don’t know well, the reality is much more complicated depending on the culture and region.
Diminutives
Many varieties of Spanish use -ito and -ita at the end of a word to make the meaning smaller, cuter, more affectionate, or even derogatory, making it confusing for learners to catch the exact nuance and meaning of a word. These suffixes are used a great deal in Spanish in Colombia, as well as -ico and -ica.
Regalar
The verb regalar typically means “to give something to someone as a gift,” but in Colombia and other places such as Costa Rica, people will use it in place of dar (to give). This does not mean that it will be free, so if you hear it in the context of a restaurant or store, assume you will still have to pay!
What does a Dominican Spanish accent sound like?
Most people can’t perceive their own accent, but almost everyone’s speech is affected by where they grew up. English speakers from around the world all seem to have vastly different pronunciation and tone, but can understand each other. Compare Louisiana to Liverpool, or Sydney to Scotland, and you can understand what we mean when we discuss the diversity of regional accents!
Eliminating “s” sounds and other final consonants
muchas gracias sounds like mucha gracia
feliz sounds like felih
ustedes can sound like u’tede
verdad may sound like velda
pasar could be shortened to pasá
Switching the “r” sound for an “l” (or “i”, especially in el Cibao in the North)
verde may sound like velde
puerta can sound like puelta
hablar can sound like hablal or hablai
jugar can sound like jugal or jugai
amor can be amol or amoi
What are the official languages of Peru?
On the national level, Peru has three official languages: Spanish, Quechua, and Aymara. About 84 percent of people living in Peru speak Spanish, and around 26 percent speak an indigenous language, with a greater concentration in the southeast part of the country. Both Quechua and Aymara are indigenous languages, making Peru a very unique outlier. It’s quite rare for any country to name an indigenous language as an official one!
To take their stance on preservation a step further, Peru instituted protection over all indigenous languages in 1972.
States give special recognition to regional indigenous languages, and all people are guaranteed the right to a bilingual education, as well as interpreters when dealing with authorities. Their public school system even offers materials in at least 24 indigenous languages!
COMMON VERBS IN SPANISH
Dar
Dar is an easy one to remember, as it means “to give.” For example:
Dan dinero a la caridad. (“They give money to charity.”)
CONJUGACION:
Yo doy
tu das
el/ella/usted da
nosotros damos
ellos dan
vosotros dais
COMMON VERBS IN SPANISH
Parecer
When you want to say that something seems like something else, you use the verb parecer. It is often used to express the idea of feeling or thinking that something is a certain way. For example:
Pareces cansado hoy. (“You seem tired today.”)
CURRENCY IN PARAGUAY:
The Paraguay guarani (PYG) is the national currency of the Republic of Paraguay. The guarani is abbreviated as PYG in the foreign exchange (forex) market and is represented by the symbol ₲.
Banknotes in circulation range in value from ₲1,000 to ₲100,000 while coins are minted from ₲50 to ₲1,000. One guarani is divided into 100 céntimos, which are no longer in use. The guarani, which isn't pegged to any other currency, has suffered from severe inflation over its lifetime.
CURRENCY IN URUGUAY:
The official currency of Uruguay is the Uruguayan peso, also known by its currency code, “UYU,” or by the symbol “$” or “$U.” The Uruguayan peso is issued by the Central Bank of Uruguay.
The UYU is the fourth peso currency the country has seen. In the 1830s, Uruguay used a currency called “peso fuerte,” which means “strong peso.” In the early 1900s, Uruguay introduced a new peso that was based on the gold standard. This led to a stable period for the currency until World War I.

SUPERSTICIONES LATINOAMERICANAS
Walk in a circle with your luggage.
In some Latin American countries, it is believed if you walk around in a circle with your equipaje (luggage), you will be given opportunities to travel the world in the coming weeks. The walk can be around the block or even just around your house, and the suitcase doesn’t even have to be packed, so grab your luggage and get moving.
