Fodor's Expert Review Sunday Market
Huancayo
Market
The city's main shopping venue is the Sunday mercado, which is spread down one of the city's main thoroughfares and its side streets for about a kilometer. It is one of the largest weekly markets in the country, yet it sees few tourists. In particular, look for mates burilados, mantas, straw baskets, and retablos (miniature scenes framed in painted wooden boxes).
