Right at Pisac's central "Plaza Constitución", you will find - from Monday to Monday - its famous local market! Textiles, ceramics, jewelry, rugs, handicrafts and even groceries and vegetables, including the exotics Peruvian potatoes and corn! You name and you'll certainly find it at this market! As concerns typical handicrafts, nothing much different from other markets throughout Peru. A little bargaining is expected and welcome. We stopped in Pisac, a town in the "Valle Sagrado de los Incas", our way to the awesome "Parque Arqueologico de Pisac". A strategic stop for lunch and some shopping at this colorful market! Enjoy!…

The market itself is a bit touristy, but there are also fresh produce stalls and some stalls selling local arts and crafts. The village is quite atmospheric with narrow streets and Alleys. This was a stop off on our tour of the sacred valley and provided a welcome break. We probably would not have visited otherwise.…

We were on a tour in a mini bus and stopped here for a wander and a leg stretch. Plenty of stalls to look at, however most of them selling the same items. Good to wander away from the market area down the side roads to see interesting buildings and to experience more of the way of local life. Worth a stop and remember your camera to take photos of the local kids wearing traditional dress - have spare change ready to pay for photo opportunities.…
