How are tourist vendor goods distributed in Peru?

Question

I recently visited Peru and one of the things I was curious about was how so many of the kids selling things to tourists on the street had the same items across multiple cities. In Lima and Cuzco, which are thousands of miles apart, they all had the same finger puppets, painting copies, and candies. Does anyone know how most of these vendors obtain the items they sell and how the wholesalers manufacture/purchase the goods they distribute to be sold to tourists?

Answer 1

They have two-wheelers to distribute the goods to the smaller shops all over the country.

Answer 2

I'm not positive, but from what I've been told, there are people who hand-make all of those things, which are then bought at a low price from those people by the wholesalers.  Also, there is a phenomenon in Peru where, if one person comes up with a good idea (finger puppets, for example), then all of the sudden anyone who knows how to knit a finger puppet is making them.  In the markets this happens as well, which is why you go by stall after stall of the same goods.
