To clarify as per previous review. This sculptor works primarily in metal and has exhibited widely. Some small and some very large pieces on view. Exceptional and different to other 'souvenir' shops in town. Local sculptor working in aluminium, bronze and copper. Figures of Llamas, and sculptures of Peruvian and Chilean petroglyphs - beautifully constructed. These items are expensive but unique souvenirs and art woks. The shop also supports local artisans - jewellery etc, also beautiful. Very helpful English and Spanish speaking staff.
