In his left hand he holds the bucket and in his right he has an ice pick.The ice cream man appeared in the summer season, carrying a wooden bucket inside which another metal one was found. In the latter he deposited the ice cream, which he offered in the streets. The itinerant trade was exercised mainly by indigenous people, who obtained the ice from the Cordillera - approximately 140 km from the city of Lima, brought with donkey trains, work that took between 18 to 20 hours.
