Why Guaro?
Aguardiente is the most consumed spirit in Colombia, yet there's almost no English-language resource dedicated to it. No brand guides. No cocktail libraries. No honest nightlife recommendations from people who actually live here.
We built guaro.co to fill that gap — a single destination for travelers, expats, and the globally curious who want to understand Colombia through its most iconic drink.

Who's Behind This?
Guaro.co is a project by Scout Theory LLC, a digital media company based in Medellín, Colombia. We live here. We drink here. We know the difference between Antioqueño sin azúcar and the regular one — and we have opinions.
