Colombia is one of the largest producers of flowers, especially chrysanthemums and there is a quaint spot in downtown where you can get some beautiful, fresh flowers for a special occasion, or if you feel homesick or just because.

The place is called ”Parque de las Flores” located in a hidden alley on “Avenida Venezuela”, diagonal to Olimpica supermarket. If you go, try to visit Manuel he is very friendly and helpful and he can make you a nice arrangement. His stand is the second one coming from Avenida Venezuela. You can find very colorful Margaritas for about $5,000 COP and roses for about $15,000 COP
