/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHEEM" (as in "cheek") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
A whole lot of something, a ton, loads, more than you can easily count. In Colombia and Venezuela, especially along the Caribbean coast, "un cachimbo" describes abundance with casual flair. If there is a cachimbo of something, you are well stocked.
“Tengo un cachimbo de trabajo esta semana; no sé por dónde empezar.”
“I have a ton of work this week and I don't even know where to start.”
“Había un cachimbo de gente en la fiesta anoche.”
“There were loads of people at the party last night.”
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHEEM" (as in "cheek") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
A first-year university student who doesn't yet know how college life works. In Peru, a cachimbo is the fresh-faced freshman navigating the chaos of campus for the first time, inexperienced, wide-eyed, and easy to spot.
“Los cachimbos siempre se pierden en el campus la primera semana.”
“The freshmen always get lost on campus the first week.”
“I was a freshman and didn't even know where the library was.”

Taxi
A paid passenger vehicle that takes you door to door. In Mexico, sitio taxis (the ones at official taxi stands) are more reliable than street taxis, and ever since Uber arrived, many people prefer the app for safety reasons and the fixed price. Knowing the difference matters for tourists.
