Fodor's Expert Review Centro Artesanal Pueblito Los Dominicos

This crafts "village" inside a former cloister houses some 50 stands filled with goods made of fine leather and wool, semiprecious stones (including lapis lazuli), and greda (Chile's version of terra-cotta). There's also a display of cockatoos and other live birds. It's a nice place to visit, especially on weekends when traveling musicians entertain the crowds. It's open daily 10–8 in summer and 10–7 in winter, and there are two cafés serving traditional Chilean food. Next door is an attractive whitewashed church dating from the late 18th century. The complex is a bit far afield but easily accessed by the metro of the same name.
