Usaquén Sunday Market

Mercado dominical de Usaquén

4 hoursMax group 12EasyFamily friendly

A colonial village swallowed by the city, whose cobbled streets fill every Sunday with craft stalls, buskers and long lunches. The most relaxed morning available in Bogotá.

What you do

  • The Sunday flea and craft market through the old village
  • Colombian crafts, emeralds, leather and coffee
  • Street food and long-lunch restaurants around the plaza
  • The colonial church and plaza at its centre

As a private booking

A guide who knows which stalls are real makers rather than resellers, plus a booked table for lunch.

When to do it

Sundays and public holidays only.

Practical notes for Bogotá

  • Altitude is real. At 2,640 m the air holds about a quarter less oxygen than at sea level. Give yourself 24–48 hours before anything strenuous, drink more water than feels necessary, and go easy on alcohol the first night. Altitude sickness is uncommon here but not unheard of.
  • It is colder than you expect. People pack for the Caribbean and shiver. Bogotá sits at 8–19 °C. Bring a warm layer and a rain shell — the weather changes within an hour and the rain is sideways.
