Silvia: Market and Attractions

Silvia combines a market tied to a specific day of the week with several tourist attractions. Three highlights can help you plan your trip: the Tuesday market, attractions in the urban area, and two attractions in the rural area of the Resguardo de Guambia. This lets you decide whether to focus your trip on the market, the named urban sites, or the places identified as rural. Handicrafts, a church, a park, and a museum offer different themes to explore.

Tuesday Market

Misak communities (Guambianos) gather at the Tuesday market to sell products and handicrafts. The communities coming together is as much a part of the market as the sales; meeting people and browsing goods are two sides of this market day. Tuesday is the specific time to keep in mind for this part of a stay. If you are interested in the Misak communities and handicrafts, take the day of the week into account when planning your travel dates. This makes the market a clearly defined reason to visit Silvia.

Attractions in the Urban Area

Monumento al paso del Libertador is also a tourist attraction in the urban area of the municipality of Silvia. Mercado Indígena y Campesino is another attraction. The names suggest a range of themes: a church, main park, museum, hill, monument, and market. If you want to plan your trip around cultural interests, the church and museum are natural points of reference; the park, hill, and monument add other named sites to the selection.
