The two rooms of this shop are packed with a staggering array of dusty, authentic antiques that includes colonial furniture, paintings, jewelry, carvings, and more.
One of the best things about shopping in colonial cities is you get to do it in beautiful historic buildings. As you wander through the connected courtyards of the Claustros de la Compañia you'll find a variety of small shops with unique wares. Some of these will also have larger outlets located a little outside of the center so be sure to ask if you find pieces that you really like.

Model reed boats, small stone carvings, and alpaca-wool articles are among the local crafts sold near the Port at Puno's Mercado Artesanal.

Open 8–6. Make sure you know where your wallet or purse is while you're snapping a photo of the colorful market.
If you're looking for some fresh produce, Andean cheeses, flowers, or bulk food, stroll through the Mercado Central. Keep a close guard on your belongings.
