Discover the flavors and aromas of the Colombian countryside
The taste of Colombia can be found in a piece of fruit, the sweetness of a juice, the aroma of a fresh herb—or all of them together as you step into a traditional marketplace.
Since before dawn, trucks arrive loaded with produce from the Colombian countryside to supply the markets in every city, including Bogotá.
The tropics offer a range of climates in one place, and the Bogotá savannah and surrounding areas provide ideal conditions to grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. In this market, over 50 years old, you’ll discover the essence behind the phrase "Product of Colombian Origin." Paloquemao Market brings together different sections, each unique and filled with variety, including areas for fruits, vegetables, medicinal herbs, flowers, meats, seafood, and small, traditional restaurants to sample.
Our tour includes guidance from a professional and knowledgeable tour guide who, based on your specific interests, will take you to discover different areas within this labyrinth of national products. Private transportation will pick you up from your hotel and drop you off directly at the market. Arriving in the morning is recommended, as the flower market opens at dawn and closes around 10 a.m., giving you a unique chance to see and purchase export-quality flowers.
Our Paloquemao Market tour is a must-do in Bogotá and can be the perfect start to a day tour. Its central location allows for easy travel to and from the market. The market also offers traditional flavors from the region, including Bogotá's typical snacks like pan de bono, pan de yuca, almojábana, and pan rollo, among others.

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
