Gastronomy Fusion at BogotaEats ‘A Cielo Abierto’

Aruba, known as the “One Happy Island,” had the distinct honor of being the first invited country to participate in Colombia’s prestigious gastronomy festival, BogotaEats ‘A Cielo Abierto.’ This third edition of the festival, held at the El Chicó Museum park in Bogotá, celebrated both Colombian and Aruban cuisines.

Over 25,000 attendees had the pleasure of savoring the culinary offerings of 30 local restaurants, including delightful Caribbean flavors. Aruba presented two mouthwatering dishes: the “Infini” tuna toast and the strip roast Johnny Cake. These dishes showcased the rich and diverse flavors that Aruba has to offer, leaving a lasting impression on festival-goers.

In addition to the delectable cuisine, Aruba offered an array of experiences, from a photo booth to beach tennis, creating a joyful atmosphere that resonated with the “One Happy Island” spirit.

A Sustainable Style Statement: Aruba by Sajú Glasses Collection

Aruba’s commitment to sustainability is well-known, with a focus on eco-sustainability, reduced waste, and renewable energy. In alignment with these principles, Aruba joined forces with the Colombian brand Sajú to create an exclusive collection of sunglasses inspired by Aruba’s culture.

The Aruba by Sajú glasses collection comprises six unique references, each reflecting a facet of Aruba’s vibrant culture. From the Dushi, symbolizing affection in the local Papiamento language, to the Sunset Lighthouse, capturing the island’s iconic sunsets, these glasses are a blend of colors that mirror Aruba’s colorful culture and the warmth of its people.

Notably, the frame of these glasses boasts a distinctive hexagonal shape, setting them apart from previous Sajú collections. This collection is not just a fashion statement; it’s a tribute to Aruba’s eco-sustainability and commitment to preserving its natural beauty.
