Miraflores Shopping

Lima is the best place to buy your traditional Peruvian handicrafts, prices are similar to those paid in the Andes and offers a wide variety of shopping experiences. From shopping malls to traditional Peruvian markets. Also you have to know that Gold and Silver are mined and cheaper in Peru than most other countries. First recommended place to buy traditional Peruvian handicrafts is Inca Market. The Inca Market is replete with Peru blankets, silver accessories, ceramics, clothes, paintings and wood carvings. Always make a bargain before buying something. Artesania Senor De Sipan is also a good choice and is the same style with Inca Market. Although is cheaper in some things. Larcomar is a must see shopping center with panoramic coastline view and the futuristic Architecture. I found it more expensive but it have very nice cafes, restaurants, cinemas and modern shops.

Huaca Pucllana

Huaca Pucllana is a Pre-Incan temple complex which was used by both the Wari and Lima cultures, was described and studied by travelers and explorers since the 19th century. Huaca Pucllana is located in the middle of the fashionable district of Miraflores, guided tours include a visit through the museum. Because of Huaca Pucllana Archaeologist have learnt a lot about the pre-Hispanic life of ancient Peruvians. The main structure of the huaca is shaped like a pyramid. It was built with small adobe bricks wrought on a continuous base of blocks and remodeled during the three centuries of the Huaca existence. The adobe structure has served as a commercial, political and ceremonial center for several civilizations over the last 1,500 years.
