They\u2019re also well-known for their&nbsp;<strong>colorful textiles and ponchos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous drink in the country is&nbsp;<strong>Pisco<\/strong>, which you can also find in many shops.&nbsp;<strong>Peruvian gastronomy<\/strong>&nbsp;is growing in popularity rapidly across the globe, and they are best known for their&nbsp;<strong>coffee <\/strong>and chocolate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220520102352im_\/https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/collage-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Best souvenirs from Peru\" class=\"wp-image-5216\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-best-souvenirs-from-peru\"><strong>What are the Best Souvenirs From Peru?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So now you know the top products and what symbolizes the country, it\u2019s time to dig into<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>the best gifts and souvenirs available in Peru to take home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jewelry\"><strong>Jewelry<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already mentioned the rich minerals available in the country and the pretty pieces of jewelry available. All around the center and in many shopping malls in the cities, you\u2019ll be able to pick up some&nbsp;stunning pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silver and gold&nbsp;are some of the&nbsp;<strong>best jewelry to buy in Peru.&nbsp;<\/strong>As well as simple chains, you can find gorgeous pendants, and many that resemble pieces the&nbsp;<strong>Incas<\/strong>&nbsp;used many centuries ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t a fan of metals or want to get something for a child, you can also find woven bracelets made in a&nbsp;variety of fun colors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alpaca-clothing\"><strong>Alpaca Clothing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alpaca sweaters<\/strong>&nbsp;are perhaps&nbsp;<strong>the most&nbsp;iconic item from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/panoramic-views-peru-best-places-cant-miss\/\">Peru<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;that nearly everyone who visits buys. There\u2019s a huge variety from cheaper options in small artisan markets to some very expensive garments in the&nbsp;fancy alpaca clothing&nbsp;stores in malls and city centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These make excellent&nbsp;gifts&nbsp;for friends and family and you can even buy them in&nbsp;tiny sizes for newborns, which look adorable, by the way. You\u2019ll find that the price reflects the quality, so keep this in mind when shopping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-textiles\"><strong>Textiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the country, and especially in&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/amazing-things-to-do-in-one-day-around-cusco\/\">Cusco<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll find some wonderful&nbsp;handwoven textiles&nbsp;that come in various colors. You can find&nbsp;beautiful bags,&nbsp;skirts, hats, and much more. These items take a long time to make and the price will reflect it, but they\u2019re&nbsp;high quality&nbsp;and last a lifetime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Cusco, take the time to visit&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/chinchero-ancient-textile-traditions\/\">Chinchero<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;where you can see the locals making the garments right in front of you and learn what products they use as natural dyes for the fabric. It\u2019s truly fascinating and creates an excellent backstory to your&nbsp;souvenir or gift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Chinchero.jpg\" alt=\"Visit the textile center in Chinchero, Cusco.

The country of&nbsp;Peru&nbsp;has some of the most&nbsp;<strong>fantastic landscapes<\/strong>&nbsp;in the world and some of the most iconic scenes from the biggest cities. You\u2019ll find a huge variety of paintings around from pretty street views to the incredible&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-7-best-treks-to-machu-picchu\/\">Machu Picchu<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find something for every taste and they make&nbsp;<strong>great gifts<\/strong>&nbsp;to hang on anyone\u2019s wall. Moreover, these salt products make for fantastic souvenirs that will serve as a daily reminder of your incredible vacation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pisco\"><strong>Pisco<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most&nbsp;<strong>famous drink in Peru<\/strong>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<strong>pisco sour<\/strong>, and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be trying it at least once during your travels across the country. It\u2019s a&nbsp;delicious cocktail&nbsp;that\u2019s simple to make. The thing is, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/pisco-in-peru-ultimate-guide\/\">pisco<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t available in many countries so it can be hard to recreate the&nbsp;delicious drink&nbsp;once you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have some space in your bags, we recommend taking some back home with you for a cocktail night with friends. It can also make an excellent gift for someone who appreciates quality liquor or tasty cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-artisan-products\"><strong>Artisan Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing that really signifies<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Peru, it\u2019s the fact that they are extremely talented when it comes to making products. Throughout the country, you&#8217;ll discover an abundance of superb <strong>artisanal items<\/strong>, each one carefully crafted by skilled locals in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter if you\u2019re by the sea, up in the&nbsp;Andes, or in the deep jungle, you\u2019ll find all sorts from clothing and jewelry to<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>incredibly intricate designs&nbsp;on clay pots and other&nbsp;decorative pieces. You\u2019ll find wool, clay, glass, metal, and even leather goods in&nbsp;<strong>Peru<\/strong>. Whatever you or the person you\u2019re buying for is into, you\u2019ll find it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the more popular options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hats, gloves, and socks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ashtrays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handbags and backpacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pencil cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oven mitts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carved items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purses and wallets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leather water bottle holders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fridge magnets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bowls, plates, mugs, cups, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fingers puppets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andean dolls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pucar\u00e1 bulls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iconic-clothing\"><strong>Iconic Clothing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already mentioned the textiles and&nbsp;<strong>artisan product<\/strong>s, and iconic clothing fits into both. The top items to purchase are \u2018chullos\u2019 (woolly hats) and ponchos. Peruvian artisanal products are not only stylish and globally versatile, but they also include traditional garments that are still worn in many regions of Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping for artisanal products in Peru, you&#8217;ll come across numerous handmade pieces as well as affordable options produced in bulk, making it easy to purchase gifts for everyone at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coffee\"><strong>Coffee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head to&nbsp;<strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong>&nbsp;on the Salkantay Trek, you\u2019ll pass many <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/java-bust-what-makes-peruvian-coffee-worlds-very-best\/\">coffee<\/a><\/strong> plantations on the edge of the jungle. As you go deeper, you\u2019ll see more. The soil in this area is perfect for growing coffee, and if you try a cup, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a coffee-lover in your life or you can\u2019t get going in the morning without your cup of joe, we recommend taking back a few bags of delicious&nbsp;Peruvian brew. It\u2019s also home to the&nbsp;<strong>most expensive coffee<\/strong>&nbsp;in the world that\u2019s digested and then excreted by the coati! Without a doubt, coffee is one of the best souvenirs from Peru to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MG_4476-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5622\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peruvian coffee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chocolate\"><strong>Chocolate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you have a sweet tooth or know someone who does and would appreciate some&nbsp;high-quality chocs&nbsp;as a gift. In the same regions as&nbsp;<strong>coffee<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>cocoa<\/strong>&nbsp;is grown in abundance and gets transformed into some of the most&nbsp;delicious&nbsp;chocolate&nbsp;you\u2019ll likely try.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy it in its purest form to melt and use in a&nbsp;mug of rich hot chocolate&nbsp;or you can buy it as a&nbsp;candy bar&nbsp;in all types of flavors from&nbsp;chili&nbsp;to&nbsp;coca leaf!&nbsp;You\u2019ll also come across extremely dark varieties as well as classic milk choc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a few of the bigger cities, there\u2019s a <strong>Chocomuseo<\/strong> where you can actually make your own chocolates to take home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-musical-instruments\"><strong>Musical Instruments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good souvenir from Peru to conside. If there is one sound that immediately evokes images of the Peruvian mountains and stunning natural landscapes, it is undoubtedly the <strong>panpipes<\/strong>, which have gained international recognition. Well, you\u2019re more than likely to hear some on your trip, and they make an&nbsp;<strong>excellent gift<\/strong>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other instruments available as well, including&nbsp;<strong>flutes, charangos&nbsp;<\/strong>(little 10 stringed guitars), and&nbsp;<strong>bombo drums.<\/strong>&nbsp;All are excellent choices for the musically inclined in your life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pink-salt\"><strong>Pink Salt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EVERYONE uses&nbsp;<strong>salt for cooking<\/strong>, and there\u2019s an intriguing variation on offer up in the&nbsp;Andes. When you visit the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/sacred-valley-salt-mines-maras\/\">Maras Salt Mines<\/a><\/strong>, you will witness first-hand how families have been mining salt there since the time of the Incas and continue to do so today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love using sea salt, you\u2019ll love this pink kind as it\u2019s just as tasty, if not more. It adds something special to your dishes and is a great talking point at dinner parties and a chance for you to recount various anecdotes of your time in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coca-candy\"><strong>Coca Candy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The coca leaf is&nbsp;<strong>highly appreciated<\/strong>&nbsp;and almost worshipped by the people from the Andean region. It\u2019s been used since Inca times and is excellent for helping you with the effects of altitude.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Cusco<\/strong>, you can drink coca tea and chew on the leaves, but you aren\u2019t allowed to take these home. Instead, buy some&nbsp;<strong>coca candies<\/strong>&nbsp;to enjoy and share them with family members back home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/drink-coca-tea-altitude-sikness.jpg\" alt=\"Coca tea\" class=\"wp-image-2416\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">C<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-buy-at-machu-picchu\"><strong>What Should I Buy at Machu Picchu?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re visiting&nbsp;<strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong>, which you likely are when&nbsp;<strong>in Peru<\/strong>, you\u2019ll probably want something more specific to take home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Aguas Calientes<\/strong>, the town at the base of the Inca citadel, you\u2019ll find plenty of markets and shops that sell the same sort of things other places do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you go to&nbsp;<strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong>, you can get one of the best souvenirs of all; a special&nbsp;Machu Picchu&nbsp;stamp in your passport! You don\u2019t need to pay for this, but do need to remember to do it when you enter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-things-cost-in-peru\"><strong>What Do Things Cost in Peru?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general,&nbsp;<strong>Peru is cheaper<\/strong>&nbsp;than a lot of&nbsp;<strong>European countries<\/strong>&nbsp;as well as the&nbsp;<strong>US and Canada<\/strong>. While some products may be relatively expensive, their prices are commensurate with their excellent quality, particularly for jewelry and alpaca garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-souvenir-shopping-in-peru\"><strong>Tips for Souvenir Shopping in Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re scouting around for&nbsp;<strong>gifts<\/strong>, keep the following tips in mind to ensure you get a&nbsp;<strong>fair price<\/strong>&nbsp;and find the most authentic pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Barter \u2013 This is an excellent tip, especially if you\u2019re in a market. Unfortunately, a lot of people working on market stalls will put the price up when they see foreigners. You can usually haggle the price down. However, this rule generally won\u2019t apply when you\u2019re in a shop.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t buy from the first place you visit \u2013 In many cities around the country, you\u2019ll come across A LOT of places to buy souvenirs and gifts from. Even if you find something you like somewhere, you might find it in better condition or at a lower price somewhere else. We recommend taking your time and checking out a few places before you buy.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take cash \u2013 Many of the market stalls don\u2019t have the facilities for you to pay with a credit or debit card, so it\u2019s always a good idea to take cash with you. Also, some shops might accept a slightly lower price if you pay in cash, as many card machines charge them for your transaction.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/souvenirs-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Souvenirs from Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-5624\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Souvenirs from Cusco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time to Write a Shopping List<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it; the <strong>best gifts and souvenirs from Peru<\/strong>.
