Animal Market
Visitors who get up before the sun are rewarded with Saturday morning’s animal market. While you might have little use for screaming piglets or a lethargic cow, it’s certainly worth visiting. Observe the subdued bargaining over a fresh empanada de queso (cheese turnover) from a hillside vendor. Cross the bridge at the end of Colón and follow the crowds to get to the market, which is a kilometer out of town, west of the Panamericana in the Viejo Colegio Agrícola.

Market
The daily market is stuffed with everything from exotic highland fruits and baggies of ground spices to mops, weaving tools and bootleg CDs. On Saturdays, this market also explodes with even more raw foods. There’s also an indoor ‘food court,’ a chance to belly up alongside locals and slurp soups.

Tía
Don’t expect much meat or produce at this grocery store/supermarket, whose specialty is all things canned. But you will find an ATM here.
