The Chiva
La Chiva — The Big Colombian Snack Box
$44 plus shipping · 48 pieces
The short answer. La Chiva is our biggest box: 48 pieces of original Colombian mecato (snacks and sweets) from all over the country, the real brands from back home, loaded to the roof like the chiva on a family road trip. It's for sharing with the whole family. $44 plus shipping, depending on the state.
Enough for the whole family. Unless the family is paisa.
The store opens soon: we're stocking up.
See everything inside, write your message and check shipping to your state on the order page (in Spanish for now).
