A comprehensive market with small units selling all the usual souvenirs and typical tourist stuff. Small locally-made woollen rugs are good value. There are also good washrooms for which a nominal fee is charged.

If you need to buy souvenirs this place is perfect. Of course as a tourist you need to pay attention to prices and bargain. Of course if you pay by cash the price is different. You can get everything in one place: magnets, paints, clothes, scarfs, wooden craft, hand made.. whatever you need.

This is one of several shopping centers located on Avenue Petit Thouars. All with several shops selling handicrafts, clothes and other Peruvian souvenirs, including silver jewelry. For those looking for decorative objects with a Peruvian style, including ancient and pre-Columbian ones, I recommend stopping by Wasi.

We found this to be much better than the Inca market. There are a ton of shops to see. I feel like they all start to look the same after a while, but my wife disagrees. Some of the shop owners can be a bit pushy which takes away from the enjoyment of window shopping. They are willing to haggle on the price so don’t just pay the listed price. Worth a stop if you are in area, not worth a trip across town for.

Highly recommended if you are looking to buy good Peruvian crafts and silver jewelry. On the same avenue you will find many stores; You feel safe and they serve you very well. It is advisable to haggle the prices although they are already convenient.

Amazing variety of items for sale fro usual tourist things (don't knock it I do like a fridge magnet to look at on dull days) to local crafts.There are also a couple of places where you can stop for a soft drink or a beer which are used by the local traders. We walked there after visiting the Textile Museum which took about twenty minutes.

First off let me tell you we spent literally hours walking through these markets. Not only were we looking for the best deals but we wanted the best quality we could find. The first thing you should notice when going through the market is there is an over abundance of what could best be described as overpriced junk. Test your negotiation skills and you can find some terrific deals on these items and walk away happy with what you paid for.
After 5 hours over two separate days we found Mirabel. Her stall is filled with handcrafted Peruvian and traditional Inca goods. Have a stroll through the market until you find her place and you will immediately notice the high level of craftsmanship at her stall compared to the others. She is very knowledgeable about her products even down to the family who produced them. Her prices are fair and there is minimal negotiation necessary. Walk into the Inka Market near where the oil paintings are and her stall is No.3. See photos for reference.
You’re welcome if you read this, I just saved you 5 hours.

I am a tribal textile collector. I walked through all the markets looking for new handmade wool weavings made with vegetable dyes and for vintage pieces. There is very, very little good stuff. Almost everything is made with aniline dyes, often in acrylic and, according to a long time private dealer in Lima, some things are now imported from China.
I found one excellent dealer from Cusco in the Indian Market on Petit Thouars, the section entered near the ATMs. His goods range from food tourist quality to vintage, with a few very fine new weavings, which are reasonably priced for the quality but not cheap. His prices are fixed and much better than those in Cusco for comparable goods.
Beyond him, a few vintage manteras or good new pieces could be found here and there in the 2 Indian Markets. I didn't see anything in the various Inka and other markets.
Overall, I found the markets disappointing for anything beyond common denominator tourist goods (I wasn't shopping for alpaca).

This didn't feel like anything special, but probably because we had gone to our fair share of markets in Cusco and Ollantaytambo. The vendors are less "sales-y" here, which is nice, but the wares are by-and-large the same as what you'd see in some of the other markets.
Also, for anyone looking to compare prices, we found this market to be SLIGHTLY more expensive than what you'd see in Cusco and Ollantaytambo, but not enough to make a significant dent in the wallet.

Good to head to the back for the best and more unique shops. This is where you find some of the artisans at work as well. The front section in more touristy. The place is a bit of a maze and has several entrances and exits so take the time to explore it before buying. Prices are negotiable, Peru has very high taxes so cash gets a discount (of course there is pretty much a no return policy) The people can be very nice and informative some do not speak much english but those tend to be the nicest ones.

Do any vendors sell alpaca wool at the market
Written 24 August 2019
Did not look for that, although I did see alpaca sweaters. Perhaps if you ask a vendor selling alpaca items they may be able to help you or tell you where you may find alpaca wool.
