Market places offer gastronomic alternatives that reflect the traditions, everydayness, and territorial characteristics that become tourist attractions. However, internal migrations to Bogota have affected the gastronomic traditions, and therefore, the city's traditional food supply. Given the importance of culinary culture for tourism, this research aims to identify the current offer of Bogota's traditional dishes in four market places. The analysis was carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach, conducting field research, and data triangulation with the actors involved in the gastronomic process of the market places. The results revealed that 33 % of Bogota's traditional dishes are not offered in the market places, providing an opportunity to rescue the city's gastronomy coordinating tourist activities of market places and production of typical food. This finding contributes to the characterization of these territorial spaces and is relevant for future researches seeking strategies that can guarantee an offer in the market places.

Keywords : customs; culture; intangible cultural heritage; food resource; traditional cultural tourism.
