Cooperativa Union Diaguita, Galeria Los Arcos, Avenida Presidente Perón (tel. 3867/421790), makes sweaters, throws, and tablecloths from local wool using natural dyes. Artesania Lilen, Av. Presidente Perón 176 (tel. 3867/421496), is good for a 20-minute browse through feathered wind chimes and ceramics. Owner Celina Garrido displays local art, including her own colorful landscapes and portraits. Los Artesanias, Av. Presidente Perón 252 (tel. 3867/421758), and Tinkus Huasi, Av. Presidente Perón 120 (tel. 3867/420190), are both crammed with local handicrafts.
