Centro Artesanal Cusco

Away from the historic district at the far end of Avenida El Sol is a large warehouse-like building painted bright red and yellow. There are several entry points and vendors around them, and the scene gives you a sense of what lies within: a large market for regional artisans, who arrive daily to sell their crafts. You won’t find any real treasures, but if you want to pick up ponchos, purses, necklaces or other small souvenirs or gifts, they’re likely to cost less here than around the Plaza de Armas.
