Opiniones Leon De Oro (Artículos de Hogar)

It pains me to do this, but I cannot recommend shopping here. My intention was to do my shopping here as a mutual value exchange to support the Shipibo women who run it, rather than the male-owned shops in the center. I live in India, so I understand the principles of bargaining, but the prices they started with were at least twice the price I have been charged in multiple other places traveling around the Loreto and Ucayali regions for the last two months. Examples: A braided bracelet was 10 soles verses the 4 I paid in town, a rapé blowpipe of the same wood was 50 soles instead of 15 (in town one with a semi-precious stone is 25 and with additional quartz and other adornments 20-30) and a simple textile was 200 as opposed to 120. Im ok bargaining, but not when the starting price is insulting and there is no middle to meet. Seemed and felt to me an abusive misuse of my intention to support female entrepreneurs. You can find and support such women in the center of Pucallpa and in village Isla San Francisco and other villages around, but not here. Sorry.
