    After you've done shopping for wool scarves, bags and jumpers, this is an easy hike starting on the main plaza of Hualhuas. Ask to be pointed in the direction for San Jeronimo then walk!

    This will take you out of the town via typical streets and in the countryside among fields then back into 'urban' setting in San Jeronimo.

    The walk is done easyly in an hour or so on a flat terrain with time to take in the landscape or look at the architecture.

    Once in San Jeronimo, have a freshly squeezed orange juice from a cart to recover and start shopping for silver goods. My best find: a delicate rose-shaped brooch for 5 soles, down from 20 soles without even bargaining!!

    Note; you can visit a silversmith if you ask around.

    Every Sunday people from surrounding come here for selling their goods, or looking and buying. Personally, I like the vast flee market; there you can find everything! But also the handicraft sellers are important, as food sellers. Many go there and buy food for the whole week, and next Sunday again...
