this Ark is really famous for this particular market Sunday is definitely
the star of this market loving it loving to come to Pisac. amazing.
Good morning from Cusco it's 8:30 and it is such a beautiful day. Our plan today is
to go to the town of Pisac which is about 40 minutes drive from central Cusco and
we can go to one of these famous things to do in Pisac which is the Pisac Market
and there's gonna be a lot of fun a lot of activities at the market gonna
start right now we are currently in what's called a colectivo and as you can
tell they're really really enthusiastic about getting people to join their bus
so it is five soles which is about a little over a buck fifty each
to drive 40 45 minutes to Pisac but the only thing is they don't operate on
our schedule they operate when they're full it seems like they're kind of fits
about 15 people's so it could be you hop on and then just leave right away or it
could be about an hour it may be yeah but I think we'll be okay I think this
it's Sunday a lot people are going down market today so I don't think I'll have
any problem until in this bus news and bad news good news is that we survived
the crazy ride here to pee suck and now we are in be stuck officially bad news
is that I just found out that my water bottle is completely open inside my bag
I get empty water bottle and wet bag that ideal to start the day and be
shocked but it is what it is and now all we need to do is make our way to the
artisan market which we believe is just up here according to Google Maps and we
actually descend at about 2,000 feet and that's the result we felt like a bit
hotter can breathe a lot better than it's about a quarter past 10:00 in the
morning here in the pee socks market I feel like a little bit early but we
wanted to come in early anyway because we wanted to make sure that we got in
ahead of all the tourists if you can see behind me there's a road up here just
few minutes ago we saw in like a caravan of white vans coming in you know that's
the buses that care all the tourists how often I are gonna go for a coffee right
now but I expect that within a few minutes this place is going to be
bombarded with more tourists
this is gonna be our spot overlooking market
to some vector information pisaq is really famous for this particular market
what it used to be maybe three times a week of market now becomes every day but
sunday is definitely the star of this market anywhere you go here in plaza de
armas you can see all the street vendors mostly our artisan vendors and selling
anything from with a handicraft for sweaters hats purses and anything you
can find and it is so colorful and everything you want to get like Atticus
redder this is probably the place for you
so these are the pigments to die anything from painting to all the
clothing that they sell here this is how you make different vivid colors it's
really really pretty and you can get one of these things just like at different
colors
you
my favorite thing of this market is this little hat on this alpaca baby alpaca oh
my god is so huge I know
another cool thing in FISA is one of these ovens so the whole city there are
a few ovens basically what locals used to cook empanadas Kui which is the
guinea pig or whatever but this particular one is the or no San
Francisco which is the oldest one from the early eighteen hundreds I'm gonna
get a tomato and cheese empanada Quattro so it's just different looking tomato
son of yours - okay he's right yeah it just looks dark like meat but it's
actually the skin of tomato stuff one of the craziest things that I find about
coming here is that we've been in Peru now for what two or three weeks and
everybody comes up to you with a baby alpaca or a baby llama as though it's
the first time you've ever seen one and they want you to pet it and they want
you to give them a tip I'm like yeah so it's a llama it's an alpaca oh sorry
and I just hit a lady I got my second wristband in this symbolises the
mountains I try to buy things that are small that I'll pack in my suitcase
because we've already got way too much but I like these little armbands they're
handmade so it's even nicer you find one of any color thank you very much
yeah thank you so much have a wonderful day this is the headless snake this is
part of the massive drainage system here in Pisa
it's quite a walk up here highest point in peace are coming up next this type
it's a bit of a challenging walk down but you know we could say it's boring be
a little careless he's going down the side of a mountain we are about to be
overrun by schoolchildren it looks creepy to me don't tomato and Casso
quesadilla your music quesadilla yes idea empanadas all right empanadas
another cool thing to do in Cusco know another cool thing in Pisa I'm sorry
ladies your alpacas are no longer novelties
