Catering & Logistics Services

Here is how the work shapes up. Catering logistics in Colombia is a climate-and-altitude problem before it is a menu problem. Our catering partners run INVIMA-registered kitchens compliant with Resolución 2674 food-safety standards out of Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena and Cali, with mobile units that follow the production schedule across the country's terrain bands. Bogotá's 2,640 m altitude shifts boiling points and acclimatisation needs on the first two shooting days, so meal planning runs lighter — broths, ajiaco, sancocho, fruit-heavy craft tables, generous water and oral-rehydration stations — before transitioning to the heavier paisa and llanero plates as the crew adapts.

Cartagena and Pacific Chocó flip the brief — tropical heat, 70–90% humidity, salt air on the Caribbean walled city, and 13,000 mm of annual rainfall on the Pacific coast around Bahía Solano and Nuquí — so cold-chain transport, refrigerated container catering, covered service tents and rapid perishable turnover become the controlling logistics, with hydration stations replenished hourly through the shoot day. Anchor providers include Crepes & Waffles' event division in Bogotá, Cuatro Manos Catering for film and series work in the capital, El Buen Sabor in Medellín for Antioquia-region shoots, and Trifásico for Cartagena and Caribbean coast productions.

The logistics layer handles everything the kitchen alone cannot — gear transport, vehicle coordination, base-camp setup, power distribution and waste running — across roads that differ from Bogotá's TransMilenio-jammed avenues to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta switchbacks and the Ciudad Perdida hike-in, where catering becomes a porter-and-mule operation through Wiwa and Kogi territory under cabildo consultation.

Pacific Chocó shoots route in by air through Bahía Solano or by boat through Buenaventura. Our partners pre-stage shelf-stable inventory, fuel and bottled-water reserves before the unit arrives. Budgets run in COP with full IVA 19% invoicing, with the line producer's CINA 40% tax-rebate qualifying-expenditure log capturing each meal-per-head and each base-camp fuel-and-supply receipt.

Dietary accommodations — vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free and allergen-aware — are standard across all units, and our caterers source organic produce through Eje Cafetero farm partnerships, Caribbean fisheries through Cartagena's Bazurto market, and altitude-grown highland vegetables direct from sabana farms outside Bogotá. The result is a catering and logistics operation that holds across climate, altitude and access — without breaking the crew's rhythm or the production's cost report.
