Tips for Visiting Markets in Bucaramanga
-
Go Early:
- Arriving before 9:00 AM ensures the widest selection of fresh produce and fewer crowds.
-
Bring Small Bills:
- Most vendors prefer cash and may not have change for large denominations, so come prepared with smaller bills and coins.
-
Negotiate Politely:
- While prices are generally reasonable, some vendors may be open to slight haggling—do so respectfully and keep a friendly tone.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Try Something New:
- Don’t miss out on regional specialties—unique flavors are part of the charm of visiting these markets.
