Welcome to Cusco, Peru!
And in this video we're going to show you what $10 can get you
in the old capital of the Incas!
We just arrived at San Pedro market and the first thing we're gonna look for
is coca leaves! Why is that so important here Mar?
Because coca leaves helps with altitude sickness
and i've been feeling quite sick recently from the altitude
So let's get some coca leaves!
Chewing coca leaves is a natural remedy here in the Latin American countries
because when you chew it
it actually helps bring down your altitude sickness so
That's the number one thing that we needed to get
and we didn't and here is a perfect place to do so!
Right now we're getting an activator which you chew with the coca leaves
because that is what activates the ingredients of the coca
and makes it work to help Mar against his altitude sickness
So it's 2 Soles for one bag of coca and an activator. Good deal!
What is she trying to sell you Mar?!
Some maca! This advertising is like towards me
She's smart! She knows!
Okay let's go explore!
That's a good price eh!
It's been getting colder and colder here in Peru because it's nearly winter
and one thing I realized is that my ears are always freezing
So this would be the perfect solution!
We're definitely going to get a beanie, so let's find a beautiful one!
You're such a cutie!
Do I look Peruvian now??
You look like a clown!
Oh my gosh!! No thanks...
Mar this is what happens if you lie!
This is the Peruvian version of Pinocchio
She's charging 10. He's charging 6!
Yeah so let's get a beanie. We found our best deal over here!
I like that one! This one?
Oh it's so nice!
It's a secret!
Everyone else is selling it for 10 or 7 or 8 and he just had the best deal!
He's spraying us with alcohol!
He just attacked me! It nearly went in my eye!
He's using the disinfectant as a perfume!
So we just came across a fruit stand and my guess is
All these Mamitas are gonna like try to woo us into their store
So let's see what happens!
So which stall is best??
All is the same!
You have to look at all the faces and the face that you like
You eat here!
I like her face I like her face
Yeah the thing is she probably always gets customers you know
So instead of going for the most beautiful face
We're gonna do it reverse psychology and look for the coolest cholita!
Okay here she is!
Oh this is where you buy cholita skirts from!
This is so traditional, especially in the countryside every woman wears this!
They have cacao!
These are all medicinal teas
A tea is 5 Soles
You will love this! So delicious!
2 Soles!
So I'm gonna get a pair of traditional Peruvian socks because it gets super cold at night!
Let's see the best price we can get!
The max I can go for is 4 soles because we've already spent a lot
So let's see what we can get!
They look nice and cozy right! Oh my gosh they're so comfortable!
That was tough! I was hoping to get it for 4 but he wanted 5!
So the thing about here in Cusco,
All the store vendors will try to woo you into their store
They're like "pase amigo, pase pase pase"
They like try to convince you to come into their store
Watch..
It's like they have two jobs one person cooks, one person tries to get all the people in
like right now
We finally arrived to the food section and now we're gonna check out
the countless stores of foods that they have
it's like crazy they have so many options!
So this is a full meal for 10 soles
There's so many options!
We found a really really good lunch deal with soup and main course just for 10 soles
Appetizer 1
Appetizer 2
Main course
I have never seen this before..
I thought I was tripping out but this is real!
It's a spork!
All right so after food I still kept thinking about the socks
So we decided to get it for 5 soles, which is still an amazing price
All right so we just left San Pedro market and as you guys saw you can buy everything there!
And it took us a while to leave but now we were on our way to the main square
And we sort of found this artisanal market
So cool! We had no idea this was here.
Wow it's all gorgeous!
So one thing you'll see all over Cusco is the gay pride flag
And i was so surprised!
But actually it's just the Cusco flag not the gay pride flag
It's everywhere! see look here here here everywhere!
At first i thought it was a gay pride flag i was like,
Hang on a minute why is there gay pride flags all over Cusco?
But it's just the Cusco flag...
This market is absolutely beautiful but it's definitely more expensive than San Pedro market
And we only have 4 soles left so let's see what we can get
So many people are hustling on the streets like you see she wants us to take a photo with this
he wants us to like clean our shoes
it's like everyone's coming up to us to ask for like service or money right?
Yeah it's like you never know what's gonna come next!
And now she's following us, he's following us too!
They're pretty aggressive here!
I remember you!
Where you're from?
Peru!
no no no you speak english!
This is exactly what I mean...
This is probably our 50th tour company coming up to us wanting us to go on their tour
Naomi's talking to her and we have a waiting list back here
They're waiting to talk to us too...
If you're a gringo here, you literally can't go five seconds
without someone coming up to you and wanting you to buy their thing
You're literally like a walking dollar sign to them
This is the main square of Cusco
And you'll have plenty of people trying to sell you lots of random stuff
So be aware of that!
Mar's like super exhausted from
The amount of people that have swarmed to us because we're tourists
So here in Cusco you will find these cholitas everywhere
with their alpaca or llama babies
Why Mar?
because they want you to pay for a photo with the llama and the cholita
unfortunately it's a little bit animal abuse
So we don't we don't support that..
but you'll find that everywhere in Cusco
All right so we have 4 soles left
And we've been trying to look for something to buy for like an hour and a half
So I think we're just going to give it to our friend Julia here
Who's been trying to get us to buy her jewelry but we don't really want it
So we're just gonna give it to her right?
The thing is we've been bumping into her on the street everywhere we've been walking to
So we decided to just donate it as a thank you
For being such a beautiful person
And basically not giving up no matter how many no's she's getting
So we're just gonna donate those 4 soles our last four soles
And then we have completed the 10 dollar challenge here in Peru!
All in all we got
coca leaves
a coca leaves activator
a beanie
mango juice
cacao tea
a cup of honey
traditional lunch
Peruvian socks
overwhelming street vendors
And a donation to a local lady
All for just 10 dollars!
