Known for black magic, love potions, fortune telling, ancient Andean traditions, and traditional herbal remedies, this is one of the most unique local experiences you can have in Peru.
Along the way, I explore Gamarra—Latin America's largest textile market, meet locals, interview a police officer, learn about the history of the neighborhood, and step inside the mysterious Witches' Market to discover what locals actually believe. I even sit down with a shaman to have my fortune read through coca leaves.
One important note: I was told by both locals and my guide that filming this area with expensive camera gear on your own is not recommended due to the risk of theft. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend going with a trusted local guide.
A huge thank you to Leo and the team at Haku Tours for an unforgettable experience. If you'd like to book this tour, you'll find their information below. Even better, a portion of every tour supports local nonprofit projects that help families and communities throughout Lima.
