Wongs: Las Tejas de Ica

by El_Sueco

This very exquisite sweet I got sight of only a year ago. I think it is almost incredible that I have missed this earlier!This sweet is a must, a souvenir to buy when going to Ica and something to take back home. (I bought mine in Lima)La teja is a fruit that is boiled (lemon, fig, orange or pecan nut etc), with a filling of manjarblanco (a sweet of milk) and bathed in sugar.The first one I have been told was the lemon. (You will notice a lemon peel in that one). Now there are a number of different types, even bathed in chocolate like that in the picture, a lapse from the original path I think.They are sold in packet of different sizes and wrapped in paper For 12 tejas around 3-4 USD.

Be careful with buying alpaca goods

by gt4715b

There are tons of alpaca goods for sale in Peru. You have to be careful about what you're buying though. There are goods that are mixed with synthetic fibers. While there's actually nothing wrong with this, it is annoying if you think you're buying genuine alpaca. There is also the distinction between adult alpaca and baby alpaca, with baby alpaca obviously being softer.

Arte Sagrado: Peruvian Tattoos

by canuckmike

When I first arrived in Peru I was walking around and I saw a sign for a tattoo shop. Liking tattoos, I was interested about tattoos down here in Peru. So I checked it out. The work down here was pretty good especially compared to other local tattoo parlours and I believe it was the owner of the shop spent a bit of time tattooing in my home town of Edmonton.

So much shopping and too little time

by lauren6

Markets are everywhere and there are wool products to be found at great deals. People loved the purses and hats I brought back. However, my favorite item (and I wish I bought more) was a necklace handcrafted by an artisan from ceramic and then hand painted. Look for these unique opportunities. He was in Cusco in an artist's show.

Pisac Market

by melosh

The market starts in the center of Pisac and extends into the other streets. Sunday is the biggest day. Several VT members found this market overwhelmed with tourists in June, July and August. In May this was not the case. Although this was the second day of our trip I bought alot and had to carry it for weeks, but never found anything equivalent at a lower price. Of course, one has to bargain agressively. Weavings -- the variety of styles is outstanding. (One caution, the "stuffed wool weaving" style originally from San Pedro de las Cajas, and probably thought of as characteristic of Peru were the exception by not being of particularly high quality or good price in the Pisac market. More than you "should", less than you will ever regret.

several shops: Souvenirs in Cuzco

by Roggeveen

The city-centre has many small shops and markets where you can buy all kinds of hadcraft souvenirs for very reasonable prices. Sweaters and scarfs of alpaca woolChristmas decorations (little stables)All kind of board gamesLocal music on CD (Eva Ayllon!!)Musical instruments like the pan-pipes Colourful carpetsLittle local Inca StatuesPaintings and other kind of artAnd finish with a beer at the Irish pub. The money is no issue. It's the maximum luggage you can carry home!

Choquequirao : A beer in the camp ! Une biere !

by Maillekeul

The camp in Chiquisque is small and is an unavoidable step in your trek to Choque.Le campement a Chiquisque est petit et constitue une etape imparable du trek vers Choque. After the 3rd (or 4th) day of trek, you are about to finish : so, enjoy a beer here !! Apres le 3eme (ou 4eme) jour de trek, vous etes sur le point d'arriver : alors, payez vous une biere !!! (3.5 soles : about 1 USD).(3.5 soles : environ 1 USD)

Ripley: Ripley - Peru

by chancay

Peruvians are a little bit brand (trade mark) crazy, the products they use must have a good name, you buy in stores like especially "Ripley" if you want to be cool ;-). It is a big market chain where you can get everything from clothes to electronic products, probably more or less good quality, but expensive compared with products you buy on countless street markets all over the cities.Ripley is as well a bank and you can get xour credit card from Ripley as well.
