Colombian Artisan Chivas and Figures
The chiva is the rural bus that has connected the towns of Antioquia for more than a century: colorful, loaded with people and bunches of plantains on the roof, and today it's one of the country's most beloved icons. Colombian artisan chivas are hand-painted with paisa scenes, football team shields, and colorful motifs that make each piece a unique miniature.
We also work on figures inspired by the sculptures of Fernando Botero, the paisa master who filled Medellín and the entire world with his voluminous shapes. They are ceramic and resin pieces, hand-painted in Antioquian workshops, perfect for taking a piece of Colombian art home.
Pick up your chivas or figures for free at our store in Laureles (Calle 44a #70-79) or coordinate cash on delivery in Medellín and nationally via courier. We pack them with bubble wrap and a rigid box so they travel safely. Write to us on WhatsApp to know the available designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the chivas hand-painted?
Yes. Each chiva is hand-painted in artisan workshops in Antioquia. You can notice the variations in color and details in each piece — that's what makes them unique and distinguishes them from industrial replicas.
Are they suitable for air travel?
Yes. We pack them with bubble wrap and a rigid box to withstand luggage handling. We recommend placing them in hand luggage if they are small, or well-wrapped in clothing if they're in the large suitcase.
What sizes are available?
Chivas from 8 cm to 30 cm. The 12-15 cm ones are the most popular for gifts. Botero figures vary according to the model (tabletop to miniatures). Write to us with what you are looking for, and we will send you photos with exact dimensions.
