Shopping for handcrafts, silver and alpaca in Cusco

Our pre-Columbian ancestors clothed their highest-ranking personages in alpaca fiber, to which they added gold and feather adornments. In our own time, alpaca remains synonymous with elegance, and it can be found among the handcrafts offered throughout the city. 

And there can be no finer adornment for an alpaca garment than silver jewelry with an Inca design; these delicate works of art in precious metal are available in stores and make the perfect gift for friends, or for yourself!

Finally, no shopping experience in Cusco would be complete without handcrafts; from miniature llamas to models of Machu Picchu, to clothing and bags featuring typical designs. 

Take a little piece of Cusco home with you.
