Experience an indigenous side of Colombia by taking part in the weekly Silvia market on Tuesdays.

Every Tuesday the Guambiano people come together in the traditional market of the Andean village of Silvia.

 

This small village is hidden away in the mountains and managed to keep its authenticity and traditions alive.

 

The tour will start in Popayan and after a 2 hour drive on the little roads you will arrive to your destination. You will have the opportunity to watch the local indigenous community trading between each other.

 

They mainly sell and buy local produce, farming supplies and textile. An incredible spectacle as they still wear their traditional clothing and speak their local language.

 

You will notice that they mostly produce potatoes and onions. However, don´t miss out on trying some of their delicious street food!
