Market shopping in Bogotá

  1. A

    Pasaje Rivas

    A couple of blocks west of Plaza de Bolívar, this nontouristy craft market is a good spot for cheap buys, including lots of straw hats, T-shirts, toy figurines, baskets and ruanas (Colombian ponchos). The entrance next to Iglesia de la Concepción reads ‘Pasaje Paul.’

  2. B

    Mercado de San Alejo

    This City Center classic fills a parking lot, with coca leaves and coca tea available, and a host of yesteryear items (posters, books, knickknacks) that are fun to sift through.

    Galería Artesanal de Colombia

    There are several cheap craft and souvenir markets on or just off Carrera 7, the best of which seems to be this one.
