Fruit Tour at Plaza 7 de Agosto

Colombia has no seasons, so it grows fruit all year round, in a variety that surprises everyone. On this tour we go inside one of the best-stocked market halls in Bogotá, the Plaza del 7 de Agosto.

You will try more than fifteen local fruits: lulo, guava, passion fruit, mangosteen, tree tomato and many others you will never have seen. Some are famous for what they do for your digestion, others for more entertaining reasons, and with a local guide beside you, you know what you are eating and how to eat it.

The tour ends with an exotic juice. We go in groups of 15 people maximum, because a market hall simply does not hold more.
