Peru is the best place to find beautiful handicrafts, full of amazing things to buy. Many people there make a living by creating and selling these crafts. It's hard not to fall in love with the beautiful wool clothes and the colorful fabrics with special designs. When you come here, you'll want to bring a piece of Peru back home with you

There are many little stores in Machu Picchu Pueblo. The largest spot to buy handicrafts is the Machu Picchu Pueblo Handicraft Market, located in the village's center. It offers a wide range of goods, such as bags, hats, textiles, necklaces, and caps.

The ideal thing is to have Peruvian soles (the local currency) on hand, but vendors also accept US dollars or euros. Smaller establishments may accept credit cards, and vendors selling handicrafts may also accept them in other locations. Negotiating and bargaining prices to try to get a better deal is a piece of useful advice.

Given Machu Picchu Pueblo's limited size, it could be more interesting to shop in the city of Cusco, a larger city with more alternatives. The San Pedro Market is in downtown Cusco. It sells food at affordable prices besides handicrafts. We also recommend “El Centro Artesanal”, one of the most complete stores in Cusco that offers much larger scale goods than Machupicchu.
