"It was a nice visit. They had sink and washrooms. Alpacas in front. They offered free tea samples. Some shade inside. It was a stop during one of the tours. Cool to see the traditional clothing."

"A marketplace where colors explode, traditions thrive, and bartering isn’t just a relic of the past.. it’s alive and well. Chinchero Market, held on Sundays, is a vibrant gathering of Andean communities trading everything from handwoven textiles to fresh produce and medicinal herbs. Unlike the more touristy markets in Cusco, this one keeps its authenticity, with locals wearing traditional attire because it’s their way of life, not a performance. Expect live weaving demonstrations using centuries-old techniques and the chance to bring home a true piece of the Andes."

"After visiting Ollaytatambo, Cusco, Aguas Calientes, we came to the conclusion this was the most affordable market in the area for identical items sold."
