El Supermercado de Magdalena

Mi segundo tour de Heygo está en Lima, Peru en el Supermercado de Magdalena con Vanessa y su esposo. Joyce and Anouska from the Desafío joined also. It was an outdoor market including kioskos which were fixed stores and puestos ambulantes which were street vendors and not stationary. 


Below are some of the fruits available at a fruit stand: papayas, grapes (uvas), plantains (platanos),  custard apples (chirimoyas) and maca (Andean Viagra or Peruvian Ginseng). Not pictured here but she also gave us the name for blueberries (arandanos). There was also purple corn which is only used for flavoring after boiling.


En la papeleria puedes comprar productos de limpieza. Note the Jr. on the sign, this is an abbreviation for jirón or street.


In one of the stores, Vanessa pointed out the things used to make ponytails and asked the group what did we call these? Like the trifecta, Anouska, Joyce and fired back with hairband, elastic and ponytail holder. As Anouska said, how international are we?

I really enjoyed this tour. I found it interesting to walk through the market. I signed up for another one of her tours on October 23rd to Lima's Chinatown.

  1. That was interesting….
    I had to leave, as I had to take my granddaughter for a Covid test….she’s fine, but some other kids at school had it, so everyone needed a test
