Paloquemao Market Square Guided Tour
Description
Granadilla, passion fruit, guanabana, sapote... If these names sound unfamiliar, this captivating tour in Bogotá will allow you to explore the diverse world of tropical fruits.
Tropical Fruit Exploration
Our journey begins at the Paloquemao Market Square entrance, a pivotal location in Bogotá for fresh produce. Are you prepared to immerse yourself in Colombia's culinary heritage, particularly the significance of fruits in its gastronomy?
Upon entering the market, we will wander through the vibrant stalls to uncover the astonishing array of tropical fruits available throughout the nation. One of the highlights will be granadilla; its sweet, juicy pulp enveloping tiny seeds will immediately captivate your taste buds. We will also experience zapote, another local favorite found at Paloquemao. Although peeling its tough outer skin can be challenging, the luscious orange flesh inside certainly makes the effort worthwhile.
Our exploration will lead us to a stall featuring maracuyá, commonly known as passion fruit. While savoring its tart flavor, we will discover intriguing tales that associate it with aphrodisiac qualities. Our next stop will be at a guanábana vendor. Though its exterior is spiky, once opened, its tender white flesh offers a delightful sweetness that contrasts beautifully with its rough skin. All in all, you'll have the chance to taste 15 different fruits!
As our adventure draws to a close, we will indulge in a refreshing fruit juice, perfectly capping off this exquisite sensory experience.
