THE SEPTIMAZO

vendors and other people come out to entertain thousands of people who stroll
through the streets. This weekly event is a must visit if you find yourself in
Bogotá on a Friday.
FLEA AND ARTIST MARKETS
There are several flea and artist markets in Bogotá.
Park at Carrera 4 and Avenida Jiménez
In this park people sell almost anything on Sundays and holidays. It's more like
an organized junk fair. Many travelers have reported finding things they
strangely need at this market.
Carrera 7 and Calle 24
On the weekends this parking lot fills up with vendors selling all sorts of
interesting items. It is slightly more upscale than the one at Carrera 4 and
Avenida Jiménez.
Usaquén
