Paloquemao Fruit Market

The 33 Best Restaurants in Bogotá, Colombia - Eater

"If you’re eager to explore Colombian produce — and you should be — Paloquemao is the place to do it. This vibrant and colorful market is one of Bogotá’s oldest, and although it’s way off the regular tourist path, the market is worth the trek just to sample the awe-inspiring array of local fruits. Get there early for breakfast in one of the stalls serving arepas, lechona (stuffed pig with rice), tamales, or caldo de costilla (beef-rib broth), or enjoy a fresh juice at Jugos Doña Vero." - Liliana López Sorzano

What Bourdain ate: Caldo de Costilla, a traditional breakfast soup from the Andean region (beef short ribs simmered in an oily broth with potatoes, salt and scallions).

13 Must-Try Fruits in Bogotá, Colombia | Eater

"Bogotá’s main market is a Technicolor, year-round showcase of Colombia’s biodiversity: a maze of aisles that opens onto a central atrium piled with tree tomatoes (tomates de árbol), spiky guanábanas, wrinkled passionfruits, ochre lulos and many other tropical treasures. For locals it’s a routine source of fruit staples that become kaleidoscopic salads, fresh juices, smoothies, sweet and savory dishes—or are simply eaten plain—but for visitors it has transformed into a major off-the-beaten-path attraction where groups of foreigners wander with cameras, marveling at the bounty. The overall vibe is wild and wondrous, offering easy access to both familiar and exotic fruits that define Colombian cuisine." - Liliana López Sorzano
