Normally one of the top things people recommend for you to see in Lima is Larcomar. I went (and yes it’s fabulous) but in reality, it’s nothing more than a shopping mall full of the same North American brands you can find anywhere. In Lima, you can find one of a kind items to bring back home and I find that the prices are very reasonable for the quality you are getting. Plus when you shop local, you are helping to support the creative design scene in Lima rather than buying mass-produced items at the mall. So whether you’re looking to buy unique souvenirs, shop local designers, or just look around, here are the best places to shop local in Lima, Peru.

Calle de Los Conquistadores

The most famous street for shopping local designers in Lima is Calle de Los Conquistadores in San Isidro. There are so many shops to visit from end-end to emerging designers that I am simply listing the street and you can browse around yourself.
