What to bring from Peru from clothes?
The Peruvian mountains and valleys affect the heterogeneity of the climate in the country; traveling in the highlands requires appropriate equipment and warm clothing. Locals have learned to knit amazing things from alpaca wool, which enjoy great attention of guests. Tourists are happy to wear them here, they also buy up in huge quantities for gifts to relatives. Most often, the following wardrobe items leave Peru in suitcases: sweaters decorated with traditional patterns; huge fluffy scarves, used as blankets; sets consisting of a charming cap and mittens.

The cost is different, the Peruvians love to bargain and know how to bargain, so you can safely enter into controversy about the quality, size, price in order to achieve a cheaper purchase.
Weaving is an ancient craft of the Peruvians, which in our time has received a second wind, due to the large number of visiting foreign guests. Woven items - garments, towels, napkins, tablecloths - are also very popular, especially among the female half of the tourist group. Items decorated with symbols of the Inca civilization are sold well. Machine cloth is cheaper, hand-woven is naturally more expensive.
Beautiful gifts
Peruvians are very fashionable ladies, they adore precious jewelry and bijouterie, they wear even the simplest things with dignity. Following them, foreign travelers begin to "go crazy" over local brooches, earrings and pendants. They are attracted by the original items of women's wardrobe, made of ceramics, they look amazing - bright, sunny, unusual shapes and patterns. They say that they are sold almost by weight, since it is impossible to do with one decoration.
Silver jewelry is the second most popular among domestic (Peruvian) and foreign beauties. Most often, the fair half pay attention to the following accessories: long earrings; pendants with mysterious symbols of ancient civilizations; bracelets that differ from each other, but create a single, harmonious set.
If this part of the goods is intended for travelers, then their companions will pay attention to other things. Many, for example, bring board games from Peru - world famous chess and parchis, which are widespread on the territory of this South American state. Figures for both games are made of wood or ceramics, they are also associated with previous civilizations, this can be seen in the external decor. Wooden figurines are more expensive, ceramic ones are cheaper.
Delicious souvenirs
Peru also attracts from a gastronomic point of view. There are also special products that have a place in the suitcase of a tourist returning home. For example, a chocolate bar weighing just 200 grams will make nearly 20 cups of hot chocolate. It is considered a wonderful gift for adults with a sweet tooth and, of course, children. You can buy in the market, where the cost is lower, and in stores, the price is higher, but the quality inspires confidence.
Men naturally pay attention to alcoholic drinks that are traditional for a particular area. The most popular alcohol among Peruvians and guests is grape vodka with the funny name Pisco. It is best to purchase in a hypermarket, without leaving the purchase for later, since the cost in a store at the airport is much higher.
Music of Peru
Another important direction of gifts from the land of the ancient Incas is musical instruments, primarily flutes. Tourists are sometimes at a loss where to stop, buy a kena, a reed musical instrument decorated with geometric patterns, or a samponi, a flute made from bamboo. And the most popular is a rain flute, a dried pumpkin or a tube filled with seeds and sand. When you turn it over, you hear not music, but the sound of rain. Another Peruvian instrument, the ocarina, can make sounds that mimic the sound of the wind. Whatever a tourist chooses in Peru, he can always surprise his family.
