Tips for Visiting Markets in Bucaramanga

  1. Go Early:

    • Arriving before 9:00 AM ensures the widest selection of fresh produce and fewer crowds.
  2. Bring Small Bills:

    • Most vendors prefer cash and may not have change for large denominations, so come prepared with smaller bills and coins.
  3. Negotiate Politely:

    • While prices are generally reasonable, some vendors may be open to slight haggling—do so respectfully and keep a friendly tone.
  4. Ask for Samples:

    • If you’re unsure about a particular fruit or snack, vendors often let you sample. It’s a great way to discover new local flavors.
  5. Be Mindful of Bags:

    • Pack reusable bags or totes if possible. Not all stalls provide plastic bags, and using your own is more environmentally friendly.
  6. Try Something New:

    • Don’t miss out on regional specialties—unique flavors are part of the charm of visiting these markets.
