A person from the Caribbean coast in Colombia, Mexico, or Peru, with their warm personality, musical soul, and relaxed tropical attitude. Costeños bring the beach vibes wherever they go.

A large, thick fruit that's cooked fried, roasted, in mole, or in slices across Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It's not a banana: plátano is for cooking, banana is for eating raw — and that difference is sacred.

The change you get back after paying for something in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. It's the coins and bills the cashier hands you — always count them before walking away.

A sweet and sour tropical fruit, the base of the most refreshing juice and the piña colada. It's the queen of tropical fruits — perfect for desserts, aguas frescas, and eating on its own with chili and lime.
