- Today we visit Gamarra (Lima's garment district)! Prices are low, products are fake, food is plentiful; but all in all, it was an interesting experience!
I highly recommend this place to get your Abiblas and Mike clothing!

Gamarra is the largest clothing and textile market - if not the largest informal market - in Latin America. If you like to shop till you drop, Gamarra is a must-see for clothing aficionados. I recommend it as an off-the-beaten path activity you won’t find in other tourist guides.
Up to 40% of Latin American businesses are informal; they don’t report to the government or pay taxes. This percentage was declining as Peru’s government tackles informality, and it seemed every Gamarra vendor we patronize issues a formal receipt and even accepts Visa.
But the influx of hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, many of whom work in Gamarra, has probably pushed the percentage of informality back up above 40%. So visiting Gamarra is a fun way to see the informal economy in action for economic nerds like me.
Located in the La Victoria district, Gamarra’s 20,000 textile shops, manufacturers, contractors and retailers employ over 100,000 people. The Gamarra economy is estimated at over $1.4 billion a year. Taking up 24 square blocks, the area receives an estimated 100,000 visitors a day. Most of them visit during the weekends. If you don’t like crowds, skip Gamarra altogether.
At Gamarra you can find everything: t-shirts, jean, socks and underwear, lingerie, maternity dresses, suits, tuxedos and bridal dresses, shoes, accessories, sports jerseys, hats, traditional Peruvian fabrics like alpaca, imitation replicas of designer brands and more. Seeing all of Gamarra would take weeks. The prices are low, and be prepared to haggle. Being a foreigner, you’ll be quoted higher prices than normal.

There are high-quality clothes in Gamarra. But the problem is that, with 20,000 vendors, finding one is like searching for a needle in a haystack. My recommendation is to avoid the guys who will swarm you in the street with flyers, business cards and coupons to their specific stores. The quality vendors don’t send people into the street.
You’ll see various independent designers in my photos below. You just have to explore, but some interesting ones I’ve found were and Affliction style of men’s t-shirts but feature, instead of skulls, images of the Peruvian indigenous kings and gods. Above is a surf-culture designer similar to Ripcurl or Quiksilver.

Sorry but Gamarra is no just piratería is a place where we made clothes with out mark just a little part made piratería but everyone know so they don't try to lie the people and a lot of clothes don't have a Label I hope you can have a good look of everything , and have a good travel 👍
Yes! They have a lot of textiles places here, so many factories! I guess that is why the clothing is so plentiful and also so cheap! Yes, a lot of piracy with clothing, DVDs etc, but its no different from any other market! Thank you for watching and wishing me good travels! :)
Buen video. Aunque tu guía es divertida, no haber conocido la zona fue una desventaja porque no visitaron ningún centro comercial de muchos pisos y tiendas (galerías), donde pueden encontrar precios y calidades mucho mejores.
Los textiles que se venden en la calle casi siempre son de calidad inferior
La chicha es un tipo de cerveza andina milenaria, hecha de un tipo de maíz germinado (jora) hervido.
Saludos
Eché un vistazo dentro de los centros comerciales, pero los precios eran mucho más altos. ¡Solo vine a echar un vistazo y probar algo de la comida y la bebida, jaja! Era un lugar agradable e interesante, ¡pero estaba muy concurrido! ¡La bebida era agradable! ¡No me di cuenta de que era ligeramente alcohólico! Sabía bien :)
Very informative, dynamic and funny.
Nobody makes better Lima videos 😊
I think the banana with cheese has been introduced by Venezuelan immigrants, Peru has more than a million Venezuelan immigrants, the chicha the jora is made from corn, and naturally fermentation is so good to drink in summer ☀️cheers 🍻
ahh I see! That makes sense! I have never seen banana with cheese, but I am curious to try it! haha! It seems kind of weird... The chicha the jora was really good! One of my favorites! Greetings! :)
Todos son productos del asia. Lima es una ciudad con mas de 12 millones de habitantes lo que si hay es informalidad, no creo que haya piratería porque hay competencia y se vende lo mejor.
Si uno quiere marca va a tiendas formales.
Es interesante. Me dijeron algo muy diferente. Me dijeron que aquí hay fábricas textiles que fabrican los productos, por lo que no hay tarifas de importación ni nada sobre ellos.
man you better pack a lunch and snacks going to that place. be there all day! there is plenty of food around if you trust the cleanliness of the people. Gamarra market is a love hate place lol.
haha you're not wrong!
I took the middle ground went to a Chifa restaurant in the area... I figured if they have a brick building, it must be more hygienic! 😆🤞🤞 Packed lunch is a good call though! Thanks for watching! 😊
Buen video, solo que la anfitriona debe informarse para ser mejor guía, no saber qué es chicha de jora 🤦
¡ja ja! 😂😂 ¡No te equivocas!
¡Ella no sale mucho de la casa! 😂
Lo busqué en Google cuando llegué a casa. ¡No me di cuenta de que era ligeramente alcohólico! ¡Sabía bien! Tenemos una bebida de verano en el Reino Unido llamada Shandy, que es una cerveza muy débil (quizás 1-3% vol.) ya que la cerveza se mezcla con refresco de limón (limonada). Puedes obtener algo similar aquí si mezclas una cerveza con Sprite.
I love Gamarra Market. I went there 2 and eating on. The street was a must for me. I am half Indonesian born in NL. I go there again. Even for a woman it is safe. As long as you walk in the Holy Spirit. But is my experience. Check it out. Regards from The Netherlands.
Thanks for sharing! I can confirm that I didn't walk in the Holy Spirit and I was ok! 👀💯
In the past Gamarra produced a lot of clothes of its own, but I think thats a lot gone due to chinese clothing imports being cheaper, but there's still some buildings with small workshops inside where they produce clothing, and I assume still some nearby factories.
Before in the 90s and early 2000s a lot of arabs used to own clothing stores and stuff (factories) around there but they're gone, now it's mostly just peruvian stores reselling Chinese goods.
It also got way cleaner for a time but then the mayor changed and the new one is corrupt and allows all those street stands to appear again... it's a never ending battle.
That's interesting to hear, thank you!
I had 20 t-shirts printed recently. We bought the shirts from a stall and took the designs to a factory to have them printed. It was mostly all Peruvian and Venezuelan sellers/factory workers. I saw a lot of Chinese products: from Paracas to Puno. I guess it's the same almost everywhere. Not many people can resist a bargain!
That's sad to hear RE: "the mayor changed and the new one is corrupt". Hopefully one day the underground will be completed with a new market to boot!
@@s34nTravels When you have stuff made though you should definitely have knowledge on the material they use or bring your own, depending of course on which material you prefer, etiher way it'll prob end up cheaper than a brand shirt and better quality (depending on the workshop), just be careful of scammers and stuff, as always you have to know your stuff if you want it custom made, else its better to buy a store brand.
Issue with low quality shirts from Gamarra is that they feel bad, or they shrink or they lose color quickly, or the stamp/design can be felt when wearing the shirt, so on and so on.
Honestly I don't really bother for day to day casual shirts I just buy quicksilver shirts since those tend to last the most and feel decent quality/good, of course the price is a bit high compared to avg salaries but they're worth the cost.
Also I know a bit of Gamarras past because my dad was one of those arabs (lebanese) that used to own stores there, he had like 3 in Gamarra and one in Lince, but tbh there was a lot of mafia and stuff in the past there, I remember one time he had a partner who co owned one of the stores and the dude paid thugs from the nearby hill to come down and take over the store with guns, it was sort of crazy, eventually though not just my dad but basically every first generation arab aged out and their children had careers and stuff so they left.
Sort of the same thing with Chinese people, a lot of Chifas closed in Chinatown, the only case where that's not the case is with Japanese people, they tend to take pride in their sushi restaurants, they've been here for a long time and their kids still grow up and open their own restaurants
Those were not bananas. Those were plantains. Your friend said, “that’s not Peruvian” well it’s not from Lima, but people from the jungle, Amazonian area and northern areas eat plantains with everything cause it’s super cheap.
Saludos amigo desde la costa de barranca peru te sigo en yutu
¡Encantado de conocerlo! barranca! ¡guau! ¿Cómo es allí? Quiero visitar otra ciudad pronto, pero me aconsejaron que no fuera al sur debido a las protestas. ¡Pero escuché que ir al norte está bien!
Gamarra.

platanos con queso muy comunes en la Amazonia Peruana por lo tanto muy Peruanos.
It could equally be Bolivian! or Ecuadorian!
It's weird, but tastes good... kinda! haha!
🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
lo mejor del video fue la guia
I have never managed to find decent replicas in Gamarra and there's never any hype brands... at least on the stools / markets I've been in. Maybe some the hidden one's keep this kind stuff. It's also fun to go to the top floors and see people making all the clothes.
I totally agree! My new 'Mike' shorts lasted 4 washes haha!
I did get a hoodie design printed in one of the shops, and that held up really well!
Even me, I'm peruvian but alway consider NOT to eat any dish whih cost is lessthan S/.8 or 7. A dish above that price is considered very suspicious... I think the expression "Tía Veneno(The Aunt "Venom")" comes from there.
😂😂😂
I have heard that expression before! My Peruvian friends wouldn't eat the food at the market lol! That's why we walked by! I'm guessing there is no hygiene certificates (When they apply for a business licence? - I'm not sure how it works here!)
This is good but, you need to upload more.
Its hard finding the time 😭
Certainly, she is not a guide.
haha! 😁 No definitely not lol! We had fun though! :)
El gringo viviendo al máximo que se enroncha.
gringo and sick become synonymous in latin america 😆🤣🤣
ES INSULTANTE QUE COLOQUES COMO TITULO DE VIDEO : MERCADO DE PIRATERIA! MAS GRANDE, COMO SI FUERA LO UNICO QUE HAY. ES COMO SI YO ME FUERA A ALGUNA PLAZA DE TU PAIS Y GRABE UN VIDEO DE UNA ZONA Y LE PONGA COMO TITULO : LA PLAZA CON LA DROGA MAS BARATA DEL MUNDO. NO TE SIGO Y TAMPOCO PIENSO HACERLO. SALUDOS
No creo que sea ofensivo para ser honesto.
NINGUNA de las prendas Nike, adidas son originales. Entré en las fábricas que realmente hacen la ropa, ¡es literalmente 100% falso jaja! No estoy mintiendo, y no lo estoy inventando. Tienen carpetas LLENAS de logotipos de marca y los cosen.
Tendrías razón SI fuera falso, pero no lo es. Es completamente cierto.
Pero la diferencia entre tú y yo es que: puedo ser racional, retrocedo unos pasos y pienso en una situación porque digo TODO EN MAYÚSCULAS y me enojo.
Las marcas importadas cuestan $100 por un par de zapatillas Nike. Puedo comprar los mismos zapatos en Estados Unidos por $60, pero eso es con salarios estadounidenses, no peruanos, por lo que entiendo el razonamiento.
Nunca dije que fuera un MAL lugar, aunque es incompleto en algunos lugares y la gente roba. No.
La moraleja de la vida es: siempre habrá alguien ofendido. Puedo ofrecer una explicación, pero después de leer tu comentario, no estoy para nada de acuerdo contigo, pero estoy aquí para ofrecerte mi explicación.
¿Disfruté mi tiempo aquí? Sí
¿Existe la piratería? Sí
¿Es el mercado de Piratería más grande del Perú? Sí
¿Pero a quién le importa?
----------
I don't think its offensive to be honest.
NONE of the Nike, adidas clothing are original. I walked into the factories that actually make the clothing, its literally 100% fake haha! I'm not lying, and im not making it up. They have folders FULL of branded logos and they stitch them on.
You would be correct IF it was false, but its not. It's completely true.
But the different between you and me is that: I'm able to be rational, and I take a few steps back and think about a situation because going ALL CAPS and getting angry.
Imported brands are $100 for a pair of Nike shoes. I can buy the same shoes in America for $60, but that is with AMwrican wages, not Peruvian wages, so I understand the reasoning.
I never said it was a BAD place, although, it is sketchy in places and people steal. No.
The moral of life is: somebody will always be offended. I can offer an explanation, but having read your comment, I don't agree with you at all, but I am here to offer my explanation.
Did I enjoy my time here? Yes
Is there piracy? Yes
Is it the largest Piracy market in Peru? Yes
But who cares?
No soportó
Odio ser pobre 😭
Tienes buenas experiencias de vida que la mayoría de la gente da por sentado. ¡Puede ser útil algún día!
