Help finding office supplies?

I am trying to find an office supply store where I can buy a lot of printer paper and envelops, etc for a big mailing I am doing for my nonprofit.

I live near Zona Rosa and am new to Bogota, any suggestions?

Thanks,

You could also try la Panamericana on 15 and 85 I think.

If you are in a bugde, you might find prices in Panamericana a little expensive, it will pay comparing prices from Panamericana and other chain office supplies stores with those at San Victorino.

I will add a phone number in San Victorino so you could compare without having to go downtown unless you get competitive prices

I think San Victorinow would be a good idea, you would have to haggle big time, cos I would imagine they'd try and charge you bit more...on account of you being foreign.

Cachareria If you had been to Museo del Oro, Carrera 7ma with Avenida Jimenez (13) or El Eje Ambiental, that is what is on the Tramsmilenio route, I guess.

When visiting San Victorino or downtown Bogotá you need to walk as if you had been there before, or as if you go every day, don´t be showing any jewelry or walk like being scare. Just be cautios.

From Gold Museum, San Victorino it is about 8 bocks west or going the other way from Monserrate. The addres of one of the store over there is as follows

Cacharreria La Perla
Carrera 12 No. 11-88
Phone number 3426543
A sellers name is Angélica Torres
