Tianguez
Plaza San FranciscoAbout
Tianguez showcases products similar to those you'll find at Olga Fisch and Galería Latina, including masks, ceramics, and pieces inspired by pre-Columbian artisan traditions. Tianguez means "market" in Quichua, and it's an especially appropriate name because the store is housed in a sprawling, mazelike old market in Old Town under the San Francisco church. It feels like the catacombs in Rome. A not-for-profit organization, Sinchi Sacha, runs Tianguez and Museo Mindalae and supports indigenous and mestizo artisan groups.
