  • 1. Arte Antropología

    Textiles/Sewing

    If you're looking for something truly unique, you must make your way here. Part museum, mostly a store, this has been a labor of love for many years as Rosie Barnes and Walter Rodriguez Mamani painstakingly made their way through the legal mire of renovating a colonial manse. The result is simply gorgeous, not least owing to the plethora of one of a kind items that you simply won't find elsewhere, due to locals from all over Peru and Bolvia bringing their heirlooms to sell over the years before the store finally opened.

  • 2. Casa del Retablo

    Art Gallery

    If you think Ayacucho's retablos are incredible, just wait until you see the precision that goes into their making. Maestro Silvestre Ataucusi Flores invites you into his workshop, after which you can do a little mask-painting yourself, or browse among his stunning depictions of Carnavals, musical instruments, and bullfights. A 15-minute taxi ride from the Plaza de Armas gets you here.

The little café in the back garden is a pleasant spot to take a breather while traipsing around Barranco.
