Mercado Modelo

Sprawling market with a famous witches' market section

Chiclayo's sprawling central market is worth visiting for the Mercado de Brujos (witches' market) alone — a section dedicated to traditional healers selling medicinal herbs, potions, dried animal parts, and San Pedro cactus. The healers (curanderos) will read your fortune or prescribe a treatment if you are willing.
