We visited the central market of the city. There were lots of artisans in their stands selling typical stuff.

These are kultrunes, they're drums from the Mapuche culture.



More Mapuche instruments.



These are Mapuche jewelry pieces. The biggest ones are ''trapelakuchas'', they are made of silver and are very expensive.




This is a huge ''indio pícaro''

Quote:

The Indio Pícaro is a traditional wooden statuette of a Mapuche Indian with a long penis. It is found in traditional artisan shops in south-central Chile. It is usually made of wood, used primarily as decoration or for jokes. It consists of an image of a traditionally dressed Mapuche painted with a broad smile that, when lifted, shows an erect penis.

These are ocarinas, musical instruments from the altiplanic zone.
