Mercado Mollina

Location:
Cusco, Peru

Market

By Rachael Daigle

Mercado Mollina is a shoppers Valhalla. Forget Machu Picchu logo t-shirts, watercolor paintings and llama postcards because you won't find a single souvenir or craftsy trinket in any of the mercado's several hundred stalls. Instead, you'll find nearly anything you may ever want to buy. Underwear, socks, jeans, shoes, sandals, belts, electronics, shirts, winter coats, plates, appliances, make up, toiletries...and of course, heaps and heaps of obscenely underpriced DVDs and CDs. Sprawled over the space of several city blocks and densely inhabited by temptations for all consumers, Mollina is the kind of shopping experience that dares to suggest that if you can't buy it at Mollina, then it can't be bought. Collectivos run from Choquechaca ($0.25) and taxis from the city center cost less than $1.
