This place is the LARGEST and one of the cheapest fruit markets i've ever been to. It has the largest flower vendors area i've ever seen and the flowers are insanely cheap. Well worth a trip out and give yourself at least 1-2 hours to check out the beauty and taste all the fruit and food there

Our tour company Kuoda Travel set us up with our guide to do a tour of the flower markets and the fruits and vegetables markets. This was incredible. We started off in the flower section and the flowers were beautiful. It was safe, clean, nobody was haggling us, there was so much to see and there’s so many fruits and vegetables that were foreign to us. Our guide had us try several fruits, cheeses, coffee, desserts, and more. We picked up some of the food needed for our cooking class here. This was a great experience.

Visiting a fruit and vegetable market during a holiday had never happened to me before, but it was a great experience.
It is a huge market, you can find infinite qualities of flowers, fruit and vegetables.
But the interesting thing is that by organizing yourself there is the possibility of having a fruit tasting, which we don't have in Europe... it's a curious and also appetizing thing...
I recommend it

This is the market of the locals. A great place to see what the locals buy and eat. Many fruits that i did not know before. The area of the flowers is especially beautiful. We, a family of 4, went alone without a guide and the market felt safe.

Fantastic market for all kinds of food. It was easy to get to, and pretty enormous to walk through. We lived in Asia for many years, so this reminded us of the “wet markets” and fruit and vegetable markets we used to go to there. Some of the highlights were the fresh juices, the snacks and the myriad of exotic fruits, many of which we had not tried before. And literally everyone we encountered I spoke to were incredibly nice, even though almost no one there I spoke English.. It’s definitely a great way to spend 2 to 3 hours!

I love fruit so I like to check out fruit markets. This is not special at all. If you’ve been to fruit markets in SE Asia then you will find this just a waste of time.

Fruits are overpriced (at least if your Spanish is as bad as mine!) and again it’s nothing special.

I must say I went very late so flowers were non existence. My friend went at 6 AM (I know crazy!!) With a tour and he claims it was really nice!so maybe if you go supper early for the flowers it will be nice but I would never lose my sleep for this.

The market is fascinating though a little overwhelming at first. It’s located in a rough area, and while getting there by Uber is easy, getting picked up isn’t as the pick up point is unclear given the sheer size of the market.
However it is well worth the visit. More fruits you’ve never seen or heard of! It’s a working market, not a tourist site. There are a number of food stalls there too. We had some delicious tacos.

A colourful and wonderful market full of fruit and veg that you don’t see anywhere else in the world. Some of the stall holders were welcoming and happy to try to understand my limited Spanish, others not so much.
The fish and meat section also has a vast variety of foods. Recommend stopping to try the fresh Arepas.

We had planned to check this giant market and finally got it done today. I'm sure for locals who have favorite vendors and know exactly where to find what they want it is a breeze. Lots of corridors and many weren't open, they have garage door style entries. In the open market area we easily found fruits and veggies, we found the fishmongers area and the butcher's area, even the egg man.. We stopped at "Jugos and Ensaladas" (juices and salads) for a fresh mango juice. Priced right. It looked like everyone was having a fruit salad with ice cream. Looked great. We didn't have a kitchen so we didn't buy anything else. Fresh as can be.

This market is in a sketchy neighborhood so don’t walk here. Lots of beautiful meat and produce. We walked around with a crying baby and stuck out like a sore thumb. Never felt unsafe within the market but wouldn’t explore the neighborhood. Tight little corners and walkways makes it had with a stroller, FYI.
