On touring Peru and exploring its shopping landscape, there is one thing you will realise. While bright hats, alpaca sweaters, and colourful ponchos look great in brochures and guides, they are literally everywhere in Peru’s marketplaces. A lot of these products are often poorly made and of mediocre quality. In order to keep prices competitive, there is a real lack of quality products. It’s hard to find good products that do justice to the luscious resources available in Peru. This is why Lamaland Peru is a great shopping option—this shop is a bit of a hidden gem that we discovered on the recommendation of a local. It offers an array of intrinsically Peruvian products, which have been modified to suit the needs of the twenty-first-century shopper. Expect traditional fabrics tailored keeping modern silhouettes in mind, Peruvian artwork on contemporary bags, t-shirts paying homage to Peru, and organic toiletries made using fruits and herbs from Peru’s rainforests. The best part about this shop is that it is an experience in itself as it also houses a tiny cafe; have a cup of coffee, relax, and absorb the atmosphere. Don’t forget to pick a bag of coffee beans on your way out.
