Persa Biobío, Traditional marketplace in Santiago commune, Chile.
The Persa Biobío marketplace spans multiple blocks between San Diego and Santa Rosa streets, containing over 900 individual vendor stalls and shopping sections.
The market emerged in the 1940s near the former Santiago slaughterhouse, transforming into a commercial hub during the 1982 economic downturn when vendors occupied vacant industrial spaces.
Within the market, artisans display handcrafted items in wood, metal, and porcelain, while numerous stalls offer vintage collectibles, records, and traditional Chilean goods.
Visitors can reach the market via Bio Bio metro station, with operating hours extending throughout the week and peak activity occurring during weekend mornings.
The marketplace contains specialized sections for electronics repairs, vintage furniture restoration, and an extensive collection of second-hand appliances at competitive prices.
