Supermarkets
The Supermercado Los Portales at Calle Morona 185 has a decent selection of products. The Supermercado Real is at Jr. Arica 330.
Markets
The main food market is at the corner of Jr. Yavari and Jr. Condamine. The Belén market is also very colourful.
Shopping centres and clothes stores
There are no shopping centres, although there are some clothing stores on Jr. Próspero, which is the main shopping street.
Photography
There are plenty of photo shops on Jr. Próspero selling a good selection of Kodak film. Fuji film is harder to find.
