Overview of your Medellin tour:

With more than 35 years of history, the Plaza Minorista is the main market where restaurants and mom-and-pop shops buy all the products they need for their businesses. According to the Alexander Von Humboldt Biological Resources Research Institute in Colombia there are at least 400 native fruits or seeds, so when you arrive at the place you will see the variety of colors and smells that make up the fruits, vegetables and herbs typical of our country. Walking through the food market means seeing behind the scenes of each dish of Colombian gastronomy, rediscovering each ingredient and having the possibility of deciphering each flavor. Growing up in Medellín means knowing that in the Plaza Minorista you will find the freshest products, the best prices and the greatest variety of whatever you are looking for (food, sweets, herbs, flowers, and even second-hand clothes). Furthermore, having a mother who is a cook means knowing which are the best stands to stop at, try the fruits and ask for a discount!
