Miraflores Indian Market

Great place to shop if you’re looking for souvenirs. They sell the same items at many stores so don’t buy the first thing you see. You often can get a deal if you haggle. I bought alpaca slippers for 40 soles and they are so comfortable and warm. You can easily spend 1-2 hours here.

This lovely market shows a lot of beautiful craftsmanship that the people of Peru master. The colours are beautiful, and you'll definitely find some good souvenirs here. The people are very welcoming and friendly

This place will overwhelm your mind with choices. The vendors are polite, and will invite you in to take a look but not press you to buy. Try to get an idea of what you are looking for before entering or the shear amount of beautiful wars will blow your mind. This is more Peruvian than Indian, and there are bargains to be found. Happy hunting!

I spent the whole afternoon in this great artisanal market. The people there are very kind and professional, I have talked to different people and had a good laugh. At the end I left with more stuff than I had bargen for. I recommend this amazing place.

I had the day off from work, so I decided to go look for souvenirs. I stumbled across this place while walking, I was impressed! I found amazing gifts for my wife and my 4 children. The place was very clean, and the workers were very pleasant

It was a great cultural experience. The people are really nice there and they want to sell. Be sure to bring cash so that you can haggle and try to buy your things in the same shop. You can reduce the price like that. They will say everything is alpaca or baby alpaca. Normally it isn't true so look up what is real and what isn't so you can tell the difference. Everything inside is beautiful otherwise so don't mind if you don't get alpaca. You are still supporting local people who hand made these beautiful items.

Fun time shopping for alpaca blankets. Beware there are different qualities and fiber content. Prices are negotiable. The vendors are friendly and very helpful. A worthwhile side trip.

Best place to buy souvenirs in Lima

Visited the Indian Market on a Sunday. Although it says the market opens at 10.30am, when I arrived around 10.45am most of the shops were still closed & slowly shops started to open and about half of them were opened by 12pm.

Prices were quite similar from shop to shop, with a difference of maybe 10-20 sol. Make sure you bargain, however I managed to get very little discount (probably about max of 20 sol for each item I bought). If you’re planning to look for a lot of souvenirs, you may need about 3 hours to walk around.

By the way, most of them at the shops can’t speak English so some TIPS:

1. Learn basic spanish phrases like 1-10, discount, cheap, expensive

2. They do accept USD, it’s just that you will get your change in Sol

3. If you have asked for discount but they are not willing to give in, try walking away. Some of the shops I went to called me back and gave the items I wanted at the price I negotiated for. If they don’t it’s okay, if you really want the item you can always still get it after that

4. The items are similar so don’t rush into buying, take your time to walk around and get the best deals

Great shopping for souvenirs. Good discount if you buy plenty. They say the clothes are made from baby alpaca so I do hope so.

Very touristy but great place to grab some Peru themed kitsch

Beautifully crafted material, with a wide selection. A fair bit cheaper than the Inka Market nearby, and also has more variety of goods other than knitwear (pottery, shoes, stuffed alpacas..)

Such fun! Lots of little shops and even a live band playing music and singing, people dancing in costumes, etc! So fun!

Great vibes and selection of souvenirs.

Very friendly shop owners. Offered discount for paying with cash. Has a nice shaded area to sit and rest.

Great fun! Great bargains! I’m an alpaca wool addict. This was paradise.

awesome place to get last minute souvenirs and gifts for family and friends :) The jewellery shop in the pic i posted gave us an awesome discount and they were really nice people. Must go ~

If you like to wheel and deal and want a trinket or artesenal gift. This place and area have a ton of vendors. Very safe and easy.

everything you could ever buy with really exceptional nice staffers. willing to bargain and they take cards

Place to buy Peruvian handicrafts made of alpaca fur, cotton, wood etc. You need to know Spanish if you want to bargain.
