Plaza de Mercado Paloquemao
An expert guide who has worked with the market since 2015, will connect you with farmers and merchants so that you can learn about their family businesses and community projects such as "Back to the plaza" and "Hello my friend." As a suggestion, do not have any breakfast or at least a small one, because the tour begins by trying different types of bread and pastries prepared by locals. Walk through the stalls of flowers, plants and handicrafts and learn about the medicinal, gastronomic and esoteric uses of herbs and spices. Taste around 20 exotic fruits from different regions of the country, learn about Colombia’s history, present and future from the perspective of the merchants. Learn about the importance of cleaning, drying and storing the fruit seeds, as well as get some tips for eating healthier, organic and diverse. Finally, you will give a toast for Colombia, the world's fruit reserve, with an exclusive tasting of refreshing juices and fruit extracts.
