I came here after travelling for one month in Colombia and finding it difficult to find authentic and quality souvenirs for my family. I had a few hours left in Medellin so I did a quick Google search of the best places to find gifts. Caballo De Troya came up first so I decided to give it a shot. The reviews definitely live up to reality! The shop is beautifully laid out according to Colombian region making it easy for you to find the most beautiful gifts in an organized fashion. From the window display to the inside interior, this shop is incredibly pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly offering delicious free tea or coffee to you as you shop. Any questions I had about where the pieces derive from the staff had the answer. The items were wrapped to perfection which helped with my anxiety of them breaking in my luggage! When I had to leave the store to go to the airport I found it difficult to find a taxi but the staff was extremely helpful with this to which I am extremely thankful! I had a wonderful experience in the store and found unique gifts and pieces of art I was unable to find anywhere else in Colombia, the quality and thought that goes into each piece of art is evident. I would highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates the value of giving high quality to gifts to loved ones from your travels.

Great shop for teas and artisanal chocolates. They have other goodies as well. We were staying at the hotel that is connected to the mall and during our evenings after dinner we’d roam the shops. We stumbled upon this place and the ladies that work there were so nice and inviting that we inquired more about their products. We didn’t buy right away, but came back before our flight back home in order to buy some local products to take back as gifts. On our second visit we ran into a gentleman that seemed to either be the owner or the manager of the shop. He was very courteous and chatted with us for quite a while. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for organic, artisanal products, made from locally sourced materials at a fair price then please do yourself a favor and come here. I cannot express in words what a delightful experience this was. Their products are also very delicious.
