HEALTHY, DELICIOUS AND FUN EXOTIC FRUIT EXPERIENCE!

Welcome to the Fruit Paradise! Just 10 minutes away from the historic center, you’ll find one of the most traditional and colorful fruit markets of Bogotá. Visit it with us!

Colombia’s fruit culture is getting more and more popular among visitors due to the amazing and the incredibly wide range of fruits we have. This is a 100% cultural experience where you will taste more than 15 exotic fruits! You will discover not only the remarkable health benefits of each fruit, but also understand our cultural uses for all of them.

We will go to the largest Fruit Market in Bogota: “Paloquemao”. There, you’ll be immersed in this sea of colors, flavors and nice people. Our Exotic Fruit Experience will take you beyond a simple market, you will interact with the traditional families who have owned these stands for years and who will be really happy to see you tasting our delicious Colombian fruits.
