Sucre Shopping

Shopping in Sucre

  1. Central Market

    The Central Market is home to some gastronomic highlights. Don't miss the fresh juices and fruit salads - they are among the best in the country. The vendors and their blenders always come up with something indescribably delicious - try jugo de tumbo (unripe passion-fruit juice). Upstairs, you'll find good, filling, cheap meals in sanitary conditions (for a market, anyway).

    Inca Pallay

    This weavers and artisans cooperative has an impressive array of high-quality handmade crafts, not all from the Sucre area. Prices are high, but this is the store that returns the highest percentage to the weavers themselves. You can sometimes see weavers at work in the patio.

    Ajllay Wasi

    A complete selection of quality textiles from different weaving centers. Weavers take their crafts to the shop personally so they receive a bigger chunk of the profits. An explanation of the design of your textile is provided with every purchase.

    A new store offering the biggest and best selection of local artesanías in town. Aymará owner Sayda Quispe offers some of his own jewelry and clothing designs, and it’s also a sales point for Lonely Planet books.

    Ananay

    This boutique features export-quality crafts, home furnishings and adorable children's clothing. It's not cheap, but the designs are unique and the quality is high.
