Every stop will allow you to discover an cherish in your heart the stories of producers, cooks and traders that daily present the freshest produce straight form our countryside for us to fall in love with everything that makes the market unique.

• Al entrar a la plaza, déjate llevar por el aroma del horno hasta un par de amasijos artesanales, siempre calientes, siempre esponjosos.
• Paloquemao es un mercado de pequeños comerciantes y sus productos exhibidos de manera orgullosa son las verdaderas joyas de la jornada: frutas maduras de todos los tamaños y rincones, tubérculos ancestrales, lácteos del altiplano, hierbas con poderes asombrosos y restaurantes de platos pintorescos.
