    The only place to shop around Machu Picchu are the market stalls of Aguas Calientes. You can find them along the major tributary of the Urubamba that runs through town or crammed up against the railroad tracks. The markets carry a good assortment of local products, including alpaca sweaters and scarved, local crafts and some art. The prices were comparable to what we got at Pisac, but you must bargain.
