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.
