Opened over 48 years ago, the Paloquemao Marketplace is one of the main supply centers for fresh, high-quality products in Bogotá. This iconic market offers a wide variety of flowers, fruits, vegetables, meats, groceries, dairy products, and herbs, preserving the essence of Colombian culture through its colorful and diverse inventory. Every day, Paloquemao showcases products from different regions of Colombia, solidifying its status as one of the most complete marketplaces in the country and a favorite destination for families and small businesses in search of fresh, local supplies.

The District Marketplace of Fontibón is a key point in the commercial and cultural life of Bogotá. Located in the heart of the district of Fontibón, it boasts a history spanning 46 years and has established itself as one of the most important marketplaces in the city. It maintains its roots and the essence of product exchange that has characterized it since its beginnings.

Inaugurated on July 20, 1972, the Bogotá Supply Center, known as Corabastos, is a vital component in the distribution and marketing chain of agricultural products in Colombia.

In October 2024, the Tourism Office of Bogotá (IDT) launched the Corabastos Tourist Corridor, a route designed for both visitors and locals to explore one of the most significant commercial centers in Colombia and Latin America. This new tourist route offers a unique experience that blends gastronomic tradition, history, and the vibrant culture characteristic of this iconic supply center.
