Shopping in Bogota

Read our Bogota shopping reviews. Or post your own.

Shopping Overview

Bogotá's shops and markets stock all types of leather and wool goods designed for life on the high plains. Handwoven ruanas (ponchos) are particularly popular; the natural oils in the wool make them almost impervious to rain. Colombian artisans also have a way with straw: toquilla, a tough native fiber, is used to make a dizzying variety of hats, shoes, handbags, and even umbrellas.
