Notes and references

The town is famous for its pottery. Originally dating from pre-Incan times, it is exported all over the world today. It is one of seven products that the Peruvian government supports through its Center for Technological Innovation (CITE). Designs are varied, but are predominated by black and white. There are several bigger companies, but many small manufacturers are in Chulucanas and the nearby village of Quatro Esquinas.
