Silvia, Guambiano (market and indigenous culture), Cauca, Colombia
Silvia town in the Cauca Department is populated by many people of Guambiano descent, who maintain their traditional ways of life in the area surrounding Silvia.
The Guambiano people are known for their traditional clothing: blue scarf (worn as a sarong), rectangular ponchos, and black bowler hat for the men; black skirt, solid color top, blue scarf, and dark bowler hat for the women.
The plaza is a pleasant open space with tall trees and plenty of spots to sit and relax. A church sits on one side while there are some shops, restaurants, and the Silvia town hall surrounding the other sides.
There are many easy trecks to do but the easiest one is to go to La Colina de Belén church. From the central plaza go to the river and turn left. You will get to a bridge, cross it and look for the artificial lake and then up the hill to La Colina de Belén church. From there, you can get breathtaking 360 degree views of the town and countryside with just about every shade of green imaginable.

Indianencultuur en klederdracht in Silvia, Colombia
Om nog wat van de echte indianencultuur te kunnen zien in Colombia, moet je de bergen in, want op het vruchtbare laagland zijn ze verdreven door het grootkapitaal. Elke dinsdag is er markt in Silvia. Iedereen komt dan overal vandaan om zijn goederen aan de man te brengen.
Op de markt in Silvia dragen de indianen nog hun eigen klederdracht. Prachtig om te zien, maar lastig om te filmen of fotograferen. De indianen hebben liever niet dat je ze fotografeert.
Saunter around the market at Silvia, Colombia
Market day in the small town of Silvia which is about two hours from Popayán in southern Colombia. If you’re looking for cheap souvenirs, look elsewhere. If you’re interested in seeing why local markets remain a vital way of life for so many people in Colombia, check it out.
Every week, sleepy Silvia fills up with Guambiano indigenous people who come to “town” from their nearby villages to sell what they’ve grown or made and buy what they need in the very traditional market. Some tour companies bring also some travelers to Silvia to see the weekly market. There is plenty of fruit and vegetables (including long, thin, impossibly hot pink tubers), meat, cheap clothes, hardware, medicinal plants, and all kinds of other everyday needs.
As usual, the shoppers were the most interesting part of the market in Silvia. Many have moved to jeans and t-shirts even in places where some women and girls still wear traditional clothing. Guambiano women wear flowing black skirts with thin bands of color. Many men and women also wore tiny, rigid, wool bowlers perched on their heads. Some women opted for pancake flat, woven reed hats that looked like flattened tortilla warmers. Most women also wore work boots, often with glow-in-the-dark shoelaces.

Silvia, Colombia 2016
This is the weekly market in Silvia, Colombia when the local indigenous visit town in their traditional costume to do their trading. They are famously camera shy but I nabbed some intimate portraits in December 2016. The Guambiano are considered one of the most traditional indigenous groups in Colombia. They speak their own language, dress traditionally and still use rudimentary farming techniques. They're also excellent weavers.
On Tuesday, market day, they come to Silvia to sell fruit, vegetables and handicrafts. This is the best time to visit the town. Almost all the Guambiano come in traditional dress; men in blue skirts with a pink fringe and bowler hats, women in hand-woven garments and beaded necklaces, busily spinning wool.
