2 Best Shopping in San Salvador de Jujuy, The Northwest

The shiny Annuar Shopping mall may stock regular high-street fare, but it's worth popping into for two reasons: first, to cool off with an ice-cream and some AC on a hot summer's day, and, second, for a different perspective of the Cathedral's steeple from the top floor. The mall also houses a movie theater showing latest releases.

The modest Paseo de los Artesanos on Plaza General Belgrano has reasonable prices on all kinds of woven and handcrafted souvenirs. And those coca tea bags, imported from Bolivia, are a curiosity that's hard to resist. The small café at the back is ideal for a quick empanada pitstop.
