Pasaje Rivas Crafts Market

The Pasaje Artesanal Rivas

This downtown Bogotá handicrafts market, hard by the Candelaria district, the Museo del Oro, and the presidential residence, presents the full Colombian handicrafts portfolio: musical instruments, bracelets, earrings, wicker baskets with colored trim, vueltiao and aguadeño hats (vueltiao are the black and white wide-brimmed ones; aguadeño are straw hats, usually unadorned), Wayuu hammocks, Arhuaca backpacks, and replica pre-Columbian pottery. Prices vary by product quality. Some small-town artisans sell as part of a united cooperative.
