Today we drove to Pisac for the Sunday market. Pisac is a small town in the Sacred Valley near Cusco. Ancient Inca terraces and ruins can be seen in the mountains above Pisac. The Sunday market takes place in the main square near the church.
We were able to spend most of the day sitting at an outdoor table, drinking beer and taking photos. My kind of photo safari!
It was a very colorful local market with lots of vegetables, coca leaves and potatoes for sale. At noon, there was a mass in the church which combined Catholic and Quechua beliefs with men and boys in traditional costumes blowing conch shells as a part of the service. For lunch, we joined the local people at stands around the market eating a delicious caldo de gallina(chicken stew)with spicy salsa for about $2 each.
