BAKATA ANCESTRAL: HERBAL MARKET PLACE

The Samper Mendoza Market is one of the most important points of connection with the colombian territory and regions that the city of Bogotá has. In it, the city finds access to a more traditional knowledge and a culture more in sync with the agriculture and national biology. Weaving between modern urban life and ancestral rural knowledge.
And thus maintaining a local cultural identity within the urban western lifestyle.
