We've been to many many markets in South America and this one is very average ... for the hygiene, selection and the prices ...

Stopped for a little bit of browsing. Lots of local pottery and small souvenirs with rustic charm. A good range of products, a little more expensive than other shops around, but also easier to find everything in one place.
