Along busy, diesel-fume-laden Av ´¡²Ô²µ±ð±ô³¾Ã³ is a dizzying mix of streetside stalls (selling artifacts, smoked mussels, cochayuyo – an edible sea plant – and mysterious trinkets), craft markets and touristy seafood restaurants with croaking waiters beckoning you to a table. Enjoy the frenzy, but keep on going…
The best-quality crafts and food are found at the end of the road at the picturesque fishing port of ´¡²Ô²µ±ð±ô³¾Ã³, 3km west of downtown. It's easily reached by frequent local buses and colectivos.
