Dulce Amazónica

More Than Dessert. A Bridge.

Dulce Amazónica is not an ice cream shop. It is a cultural embassy representing 20 indigenous communities from the Colombian Amazon. Each month, a rotating indigenous ambassador arrives from a different community, bringing artesanias to sell, stories to share, and live FaceTime sessions with families deep in the forest.

The products you buy here are not novelties. They are part of a living economy managed by the people who made them.

25 Flavors from the Forest

Dulce Amazónica serves 25 ice cream and dessert flavors sourced from indigenous communities across the Colombian Amazon. Arazá, copoazú, asaí, camu camu, borojoe: these are not exotic ingredients. They are the foundation of Amazonian food systems, harvested by the communities who have cultivated them for generations.

Each flavor is a direct line between the forest floor and your table.

Every Ingredient Has a Story

The fruits, oils, and botanicals in every product come from nomadic and semi-nomadic Amazon communities who harvest them by hand, using methods passed down through generations. No industrial intermediaries. No synthetic additives. No extraction without consent.

When you eat here, you are participating in a supply chain where the harvester is the beneficiary.

Art That Comes From the Forest

Each month, the rotating indigenous ambassador brings handmade artesanias from their community: textiles, ceramics, seed jewelry, painted bark, woven baskets. These are not mass-produced crafts. They are singular objects made by specific people in specific places, sold at fair prices that go directly back to the makers.

The shop is not a souvenir stand. It is a gallery of living material culture.

Restorative Economics, Not Charity

Dulce Amazónica is built on the principle that fair trade is not charity. When indigenous communities receive fair prices for their ingredients, art, and cultural labor, they do not become dependent on outside goodwill. They build the economic infrastructure to lead their own futures.

Every transaction at Dulce Amazónica is a direct investment in indigenous-led economic sovereignty.

Dignity

Every purchase recognizes the maker as an equal economic partner.

Transparency

Prices are set with the communities, not for them.

Continuity

Long-term relationships, not one-off purchases. The same communities, returning each season.

Rooted in Guatapé

Dulce Amazónica is housed within Casa de Ciclistas, a restaurant and gathering space in Guatapé, Colombia. A portion of every meal served at Casa de Ciclistas goes toward feeding and caring for children in Amazon communities daily.

The restaurant does not exist separately from the mission. It is part of the same chain that starts in the forest and ends on your plate. When you eat at Casa de Ciclistas, you are feeding children who live a thousand kilometers away.

The Amazon Is Not Far

Mountain Bike Colombia runs expeditions into the heart of the Colombian Amazon, where cycling becomes a lens for humanitarian work. Riders don’t just visit indigenous communities. They carry tools, medicine, and resources that communities have requested. They return home with a different understanding of what the Amazon is and what it needs.

Dulce Amazónica is where that story starts, before the expedition, and where it continues after. The flavors you taste here come from the same communities our riders visit.
