Artesian Mall

s5.jpgThe best place to shop for typical Colombian crafts is in a mini mall across the street from the Gold Museum. Very good quality stuff at rather low prices. Typical items include replicas of ‘chivas’ - bright-painted Colombian rural buses, Indian pottery, models of patios of typical Colombian houses, figurines of donkeys with coffee bags (with or without Juan Valdes), shirts and sweaters, gourmet coffee, reproductions of gold artifacts, etc. In many places they give you as a gift a Colombian flag bracelet.

All of the above. Prices are really good - almost everything is under US$5.

really cheap considering the work that went into them. and they are actually Colombian, not made in China.
