The Feria Dominical de Huancayo is a weekly Sunday market that runs along Calle Real in Huancayo, the city in the Junín region of Peru. It is also known as the Sunday Market Huancayo or Feria del Domingo, and it is one of the best-known traditional markets in the country.
What you will find
The market brings together a wide range of goods from Andean communities. Stalls offer local crafts and textiles, along with food and agricultural products. Walking the length of Calle Real gives a clear sense of how much of the surrounding highland region comes into town to trade each week.
What kind of visit it makes
This is best suited to a visitor who enjoys wandering a busy street market and looking closely at what is on display. Because the market is organised around a single Sunday, it is a good reason to plan your time in Huancayo around that day. You can browse at your own pace, stop at stalls that catch your eye, and see the everyday commerce of the area rather than a set performance.
