Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Lima right now.
Hundreds of stores around Lima offer traditional crafts of varying quality. The same goes for silver and gold jewelry. Wander down Avenida La Paz in Miraflores and you'll be astounded at the number of shops selling silver knick-knacks, elaborate jewelry, and antiques. The district is also full of crafts shops, many of them along Avenida Petit Thouars. For upscale merchandise, many shoppers head to the boutiques of San Isidro. For original works of art and the highest-quality handicrafts, Barranco has excellent small galleries.
Brooding saints dominate the walls of this small shop, which also has some interesting ceramic and silver figures. It's open only for a few hours in the afternoon and evening, but the owners live nearby and are happy to open the store at other times if you give them a call.
One of several small antiques shops in the Pasaje El Suche (a small, colonial-style complex), El Nazareno has an eclectic selection of antique statues and religious art, as well as handicrafts such as woven rugs.
