Huancayo - Sunday Market

The huge Huancayo Sunday Market attracts some 50,000 people each week and has been going on for over 400 years. Trading between the Spanish and the Huanca people began as far back as 1572. Today the market attracts people from all over the Mantaro Valley, both to buy and sell their goods. This is the largest market in Peru.

The Huancayo Sunday Market has stands selling anything locals would need in their daily lives, including food, clothing, and house hold items. There are some crafts sold here but these are more reserved for the daily markets rather than the Sunday Market.
