MARKET TOUR
For visitors heading out to the markets, we have a recommendations
to make the most of your market visit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Buy something - See something you
like? Make a purchase!
Bring small bills - Don't expect
to get change for a small purchase if you are paying with a 200
or 500 peso note.
Don't block the corridors - Remember
that the market is a work environment. If you're in a group or traveling
by yourself, keep the corridors clear for other clients.
Ask before taking pictures - It's
common courtesy, particularly for close-up shots.
Pay attention - Tourists in markets
are 'easy targets' for thieves. Lessen the chances of robbery by
paying attention. |
