Indian Markets
Miraflores, Lima

Indian Markets
The largest selection of native handicrafts in Lima, much of excellent quality, is the end of Avenida Petit Thouars in Miraflores. The selection in many of the markets is similar, but the best one is the Indian Market, at Petit Thouars 5321, with well over 100 vendors.

The only place in town selling the charming Ayacucho ethnographic paintings on wood (Tablas de Sarhua) now on display at the Museo del Banco Central de Reserva del Perú is here, one of the two unrelated vendors whose stands have both been assigned the number 48.
