Shopping the Peruvian Way

With its big number of modern, western style shopping centers and supermarkets, Peru doesn't have to hide behind other cities in the world. But don't we all know these shopping facilities? Aren't they all the same around the world? Therefore, while you are in Peru, why not try the Peruvian approach to shopping?

Spread around Peru are many shopping complexes uniting numerous merchants in one location. Here you find everything from clothes and shoes to electronic and entertainment equipment, toys and perfumes. Mostly frequented by locals of all social classes, these places offer a tremendous variety of products and amazing low prices. But be careful, not all is gold that glitters. It is quite common to find also counterfeit products from well-known brands offered for spectacular cheap prices.
