Flea Markets In South America

Make sure you visit the San Telmo Antiques Fair, Buenos Aires, Argentina.Almost all the major cities in South American countries have their indigenous market places where the local artisans or manufacturers sell their produce. One example is the Fundacion Chol-Chol, a non-profit, fair-trade organisation which provides opportunities to the local Mapuche women from the Araucania region in Chile.

These locals showcase their handicrafts which include superior quality throw rugs, shawls, bags, etc. While these products may not be inexpensive, they are gorgeous and exclusive pieces of art.
