Mercados Incas is a bustling indoor market located at the intersection of Avenida Petit Thouars and Ricardo Palma in Lima's Miraflores district. It is a go-to destination for authentic Peruvian crafts, from alpaca wool sweaters and scarves to silver jewelry, ceramic figurines, and Andean musical instruments. The market is distinctive for its maze-like layout of dozens of small stalls, each run by local artisans or vendors. You'll find colorful textiles with traditional patterns, hand-painted retablos, and gourmet coffee. Bargaining is expected, and the atmosphere is lively with vendors calling out to passersby. It's a great place to pick up unique gifts and experience local commerce.
