Plaza San Francisco

Local Christmas market

This plaza is almost more like a park because of its trees and green spaces. This is also the calmest of the main plazas. During the week before Christmas it fills with people selling materials to build nativity scenes.

In Peru nativity scenes are made with mosses and plants gathered from the nearby cloud forests. While there are environmental concerns with the gathering of wild plants, at least people aren’t using plastic garlands that get thrown away every year.
