San Camilo Market
Mercado San Camilo
A 19th-century central market with an iron frame, where you'll find freshly squeezed juices, cheeses, and over a hundred kinds of potatoes and Andean herbs.
The market was built in the late 19th century. Under its iron-framed roof, stalls are arranged by section selling fruit, meat, cheese, bread, spices, and the many varieties of Andean potatoes and corn. The most popular stop is the juice stands, where you can order a freshly squeezed papaya, avocado, or local fruit juice. Upstairs, food stalls serve Arequipa-style stews at low prices. It's about a 5-minute walk from Plaza de Armas. The market is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings.
