The name of this boutique (known as the world’s most concise word) is part of the vocabulary of the Yámanas Indians in the Land of Fire. It’s a shop that focusses on alternative women’s T-shirts and jewellery compliments brought back from different corners of the globe.

4) Sin Rencor Tattoo

The finishing touch is a colourful tattoo, no doubt about it. With the good fortune of not having to hide under layers and layers of clothing for most parts of the year, there are quite a few good tattoo parlours in Santa Cruz. Pachu is the main artist at Sin Rencor and his successful use of bright colours makes him one of the favourites.
