Cusco Shopping Tips by jackfruit

Various: Pisac Market Pisac Market Review

Prices in Cusco can be very high since it's very touristy and the hub of all activities in the Sacred Valley, including Machu Pichu. Instead, if you are planning a daytrip(s) to the Sacred Valley sites to see Sacsayhuman, etc do your shopping at the Pisac market. The market is only on Sundays. You can hone your haggling skills and get some unbelieveable bargains!

Most bus tours of the Sacred Valley make a stop at the Pisac market if the tour is on a sunday. I would time my visit to the area for this, because you wouldnt want to miss the shopping action!

What to buy: Local crafts like peruvian dolls, alpaca wool sweaters, pottery, brass and iron crafts, beads, etc etc.
