Feria Pinto

Sur Chico


Feria Pinto is a colorful Mapuche produce-and-food market taking up several blocks along Barros Arana. Along the streets more practical wares are sold, while in the feria itself vendors hawk everything from apples and artisan cheeses to honey and bags of merkén (Mapuche spice-smoked chili).

There is a lane of cocinerías (greasy spoons) as well – plop yourself down at a counter and tuck into cazuelas, sopapaillas with cheese, pailas of eggs and other homespun goodness. And don't miss Don Rigo's chili sauce!
