Shopping

By Ricardo Segreda

There are any numbers of stores along Jirón de la Reunión selling clothes, food and office supplies, but you might prefer to cut to the chase and simply stop at the massive Metro, occupying an entire block of Avenida Cuzco between Calles Carabaya and Lampa. Part of the Almacenes Metro chain, one of the most extensive in Latin America, this superstore is your Wal-Mart south of the equator. There is a large supermarket downstairs, a food court upstairs, and everywhere else all you need for just about everything.
