These locations have contributed to the weaving of Bogota’s historic narrative. You will explore La Plaza de la Perseverancia, a marketplace established in 1910, when the city was in its infancy. Subsequently, you will be guided to the Paloquemao Market, currently the city’s primary trading venue.

A delicious experience - Colombia it's a delicious place, all the different dishes were so delicious, I always wanted to know why, for that reason we went to the Paloquemao traditional market and I realized that most of the ingredients are fresh, that explains the wonderful taste of everything. I got there with a local guide called Daniel Rodriguez, he was great explaining how local food dynamics work and at the end we had a tasting experience of local exotic fruits THE TASTE WAS THE BEST
