There is a great atmosphere in the cobbled streets of the market, although the crafts they sell there are easily found in other parts of Peru. They emphasize especially textiles made with alpaca wool and dyed in bright colors.

Besides this, it is also easy to find jewelry made with silver, decorative accessories or typically peculiar Peruvians toys. Also we will find many crafts that reproduce Inca archaeological pieces, musical instruments, and alpaca clothing, very typical of the region that certainly will help with that cold winter of the own region.
