Highlights
- Plaza Minorista - The tradition of a ¨Public Market¨ was brought to our land by the Spanish Colonizers. At its time, the Market was not conceived as a closed precinct but as an activity developed at the “Plaza Mayor” in the central area of the city. It was usually held on Saturdays or Sundays, the same days as religious congregations happened

Great tour format and great guide - Orión was a super cool guy, very personable not just with us but with the vendors - he brought great vibes.
We were actually the only 2 people on this tour, but it didn’t matter! We got to try a lot of fruit that I haven’t before, practice some Spanish, and explore around a market that I would otherwise not have visited.

A great taste of Colombian fruit - Alejandro walked us through the market, and told us about the wide variety of fruits and the connections to colombia. The fruit was delicious, and it was a great help to have a guide lead us through the unfamiliar fruits, which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.
