Name of Shop: Plaza Rotary
One of the great joys of South American travel are the local markets. Whether you are shopping or just looking at crafts, produce, or snacks it is a sensory assault you’ll not soon forget. Cuenca has a great local market at Rotary Plaza. Its forte is produce with vendors setting up makeshift stands outside and more established venues in the interior. There are also food and drink vendors so it makes for a cheap, authentic place for lunch. It closes down early and it’s not the safest place to walk around at night. We met some fellow travelers that were staying in the area and did not have any problems but like us they weren’t generally out at night and got from point A to B as quickly as possible.
What To Buy: Great cheap lunches and fruit drinks along with produce are the real finds in this very authentic local market.
