Where to buy groceries in Miraflores

Vivanda and Wong

Vivanda and Wong are two go-to supermarkets in Miraflores. Wong, being the oldest in the city, is a bit more expensive than Vivanda. However, Wong is bigger and offers a wider variety of products.

In addition to supermarkets, you will also find many small shops for quick snack, bread, and water top-ups.

Mass tiendra is much cheaper than both Wong and Vivanda for basic products, for instance, a toothpaste for S/.4 when the cheapest one in Wong is at 8 and most are around 15 soles. I noticed some products like water, beer are a bit cheaper there. Eggs as well!

Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo

Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo is the place to go for fresh vegetables and fruits. It’s a local market that offers a wide range of fresh produce at affordable prices.
