    Relaxed Shopping- No pressure
    I felt so welcomed by Melisa and Carmen. They did not pressure me at all to make a sale and that made me feel more comfortable choosing my sweater. I even left when I felt I needed a night to decide and they didn't make me feel bad at all. I returned the next day to buy it and look at more. They were so gracious and lovely and it was so nice to shop in this store because of them. Highly recommend! Excellent selection and they make shopping fun 🌸🌼🌹

    Great shop with lots of variety and helpful staff
    Great place to buy souvenirs in Cusco. I was assisted by Nayruth, Anely, and Amanda. They were very friendly, and happy to show me alternatives for different products, but not pushy at all. We ended up buying most of our souvenirs here. They have many 100% baby alpaca and mixed alpaca and cotton products. Also had some sales when we went.

    Bueno!
    Carmen was really helpful. This place is more expensive because of the atmosphere and location but they had some llamas that we could not find anywhere else that were hand made. Carmen pulled out her brooch needle to terminate a couple loose ends. The key chains here are 15 sol like everywhere else and we could have gotten them for 12-13 at the little shops but we bought everything here because they also had a few key chains we preferred over others. This place is very nice and Carmen was so helpful.

I found this store by chance on a quiet street of San Blas 2 min from Plaza de Armas when I already spent a lot of time n Cusco and knew the prices and quality range of peruvian handicraft from the stores around the Plaza to a huge artizanal center down Ave El Sol. Ekekos was beyond any expectations. It is a compact store with a huge selection of items from magnets (exquisite) to coats and all kinds of things in between. The quality is top notch and the prices are reasonable. Moreover, they have "real"" discounts (not "50% off today" as a sign in every alpaca store announces, which gives you a price still higher than reasonable after applying that discount). Ekekos different discounts for different items make the prices very attractive. The staff is not annoying while helpful when asked for help. Unfortunately, I already bought a lot of things, but still found some treasures there. Highly recommended!

There's a great selection of blankets / sweaters / hats / gloves and more in this shop, and the staff could not have been kinder. I was searching for a sweater to bring back to my husband and they helped pull lots of options and let me use the wifi to text pictures back to him for his approval. No pressure and just excellent service. My only regret is that I didn't have enough space in my luggage to buy more - the beautifully colored alpaca throws are a special treat.

I wandered through several shops on my last day in Cusco and felt like I hit the jackpot when I found Ekekos San Blas. The items were high quality and fairly priced. I purchased the majority of the gifts I took home from Ekekos, but also several beautiful things for myself, too!

Wonderful service and great selection of merchandise. If I'd only taken an empty suitcase on my trip, I'd have bought more! Next time :)

Great selection of artensenias of Peru. From Toritos de Pucara to Retablos from Ayacucho to Baby Alpaca attire. Friendly staff like Indira make this place a joy to visit. No pressure just a great selection of things to browse at your leisure. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing selection of high quality artifacts made/sourced locally. Great help/suggestions while shopping. Melissa, Yaja, y Anelhi were amazing during our trip. We came back again to buy some gifts and ceramic decorations for our home. We’re so thrilled to be going home with such amazing treasures.

Found this shop by chance - literally the last store I went to in Cusco before running to the airport - and so happy I did. Spent way too much money, but really delightful selection of unique gifts at reasonable prices. Really nice shopkeepers and terrific atmosphere.
