- Brix510San Jose, California976 contributionsGreat produce, flowers and snacksThis place is the LARGEST and one of the cheapest fruit markets i've ever been to. It has the largest flower vendors area i've ever seen and the flowers are insanely cheap. Well worth a trip out and give yourself at least 1-2 hours to check out the beauty and taste all the fruit and food thereVisited August 2022Written 8 August 2022
- Eliane sNew York City, New York101 contributionsLocal market - very interestingThis is the market of the locals. A great place to see what the locals buy and eat. Many fruits that i did not know before. The area of the flowers is especially beautiful. We, a family of 4, went alone without a guide and the market felt safe.Visited January 2020Written 22 March 2020
- Eric LDaytona Beach, Florida38 contributionsFantastic food market!Fantastic market for all kinds of food. It was easy to get to, and pretty enormous to walk through. We lived in Asia for many years, so this reminded us of the “wet markets” and fruit and vegetable markets we used to go to there. Some of the highlights were the fresh juices, the snacks and the myriad of exotic fruits, many of which we had not tried before. And literally everyone we encountered I spoke to were incredibly nice, even though almost no one there I spoke English.. It’s definitely a great way to spend 2 to 3 hours!Visited June 2021Travelled with familyWritten 20 June 2021

We visited the place with a guide.
The market is beautiful, colorful and relatively clean.
It is more of a local market and not a tourist market.
We had good time tasting different exotic fruits and walking around, asking questions about local cuisine and local food
Unfortunately, the guide was ok and not more. With a proper guide you can have a fantastic tour
Don’t miss it

Our tour company Kuoda Travel set us up with our guide to do a tour of the flower markets and the fruits and vegetables markets. This was incredible. We started off in the flower section and the flowers were beautiful. It was safe, clean, nobody was haggling us, there was so much to see and there’s so many fruits and vegetables that were foreign to us. Our guide had us try several fruits, cheeses, coffee, desserts, and more. We picked up some of the food needed for our cooking class here. This was a great experience.

there are many possibilities to enjoy typical foods at inexpensive stalls. A guided tour makes it easier to understand what fruits and veggies you are looking at

This is a huge market with lots of activity. There are also places to get food and drinks. We sat for several hours just watching people go by. It's well worth a visit.

I had a really enjoyable hour and a half or so in Paloquemao Market. We had a tour actually and sampled loads of exotic fruit, bread, coffee and pastries The colour, cacophony of noise and the smells of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as the flower market made it a serious assault on the senses!
But you don't need a tour really. Its big, yes, but it is easily navigable without a guide. In fact, most people will visit it this way.
I thought it was wonderful to get a slice of everyday life in Bogota's biggest Market.

The market is fascinating though a little overwhelming at first. It’s located in a rough area, and while getting there by Uber is easy, getting picked up isn’t as the pick up point is unclear given the sheer size of the market.
However it is well worth the visit. More fruits you’ve never seen or heard of! It’s a working market, not a tourist site. There are a number of food stalls there too. We had some delicious tacos.

The market was large with a wide variety of products being sold. We tried a bunch of different fruits and avocados which was fun.

Por favor informarme en qué puesto de la plaza puedo encontrar el pepino amargo gracias
Buenos Días, me gustaria saber en que sector de este mercado puedo comprar Bolsas plasticas por mayor. O en caso contrario en que parte de Bogota puedo tratar con Mayoristas que muevan volumenes importantes de Bolsa plasticas.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda!

En la plaza de Paloquemao existen varios distribuidores de artículos desechables y bolsas plásticas, sin embargo el sector de Bogotá en el que más he visto bolsas plásticas e insumos relacionados es en el barrio Galán en la avenida 68 con calle tercera hacia el oriente hay bastante surtido

Hi! You'll find several kiosks serving food and drinks inside the market itself. It is an opportunity to discover typical Colombian food in a friendly atmosphere. You may wish to try empanadas, arepas, chincharon, buñuelos, pan de bono etc....
