Great place to visit and purchase local arts and crafts. Better to go there during the week as the center is packed at the weekend. read more

This place is an oasis of tranquility and it is just steps away from Los Dominicos Metro Station. Just as the name suggests, it is like a small town where you can find mostly handmade, traditional things, but you can also find lots of animals. Since there are many stores, you can spend a whole afternoon there. There are places to eat, art exhibitions and an insectary. If you're a tourist and really want to take pictures I suggest you do so, but in stealth mode. Some sellers can get really irritated. Overall, is a nice place to spend the day. read more

Most of the pictures I've seen online of Los Dominicos doesn't quite capture the quaint cozy atmosphere. They look a little run down, secondhand... But when you're actually there it really has a nice village, handicraft local feel to it and it was an exciting experience exploring all the little stores and finding some unique items both for myself and as gifts. I discovered what a "pillan" is and bought a couple of sterling pendants. I also bought some nice alpaca shawls as gifts to later realize everybody wanted one and I could've easily bought twice the amount. I also bought some little lapis lazuli figurines - a maori head, a penguin for my daughters - they loved them and display them proudly on their bookshelves. I had regrets that I didn't buy some lapis lazuli jewelry for myself - and also a leather bag - at the time I felt the prices were pretty high for the location - but you really can't find the same stuff for that price in the US. read more

Loved walking through this little artisan village with the Andes as a backdrop!! Picked up a few souvenirs from various vendors and tried the pastel de choclo at Antilucan- highly recommend both; a great way to spend an afternoon. read more
