Chivay Plaza de Armas: High Altitude Vibes & Local Markets

4.5 (254)

Skip the main square if you want peace; it’s usually chaotic with tour groups. Spend your time wandering the surrounding blocks instead. Grab a caldo de cabeza or fried trout at the nearby municipal market—it’s cheap and authentic. Hit the plaza around 5pm when the local kids come out to play, but don’t expect a fancy nightlife. It's essentially a glorified transit hub for Colca Canyon trekkers, so keep your visit under one hour.
