In the Historic Center, near Plaza de Armas<\/a> and its Inca and colonial treasures, you will find the century-old San Pedro Market of Cusco<\/strong>, the main food market of the \u201cImperial City.\u201d Because of its strategic location and its incredible range of products and services<\/strong>, which includes everything from hearty breakfasts and lunches to the products needed to perform rituals dedicated to the earth and mountains<\/strong>, it has become a tourist attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying handicrafts<\/strong> or traditional chuta bread<\/strong> (round and larger than old-fashioned records); getting a close look at the various elements used in Andean ceremonies (coca leaves, incense, and aromatic herbs<\/strong>); drinking the fruit juices prepared by the caseras (female vendors); and enjoying the hearty set meals<\/strong> served at lunchtime are experiences that will bring you closer to the essence of Cusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

San Pedro is not a market created for tourists<\/strong>. At its stalls, locals buy agricultural products from the Sacred Valley of the Incas<\/strong> and fruits from the jungle, while shamans and traditional healers<\/strong> find the unusual and surprising ingredients they need to carry out their ceremonies. Many workers who work in the city center<\/a> also have breakfast or lunch here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commercial activity, together with the colors, aromas, and diversity of products<\/strong>\u2014many of which can only be found in Cusco<\/a>\u2014makes the market a major attraction for travelers. So do not hesitate to take one or several walks through its aisles to look around, shop, and, why not, try a beef or chicken head soup<\/strong>, some delicious chicharrones, or a simple dish of rice with a fried egg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know: when planning your itinerary through the historic center, include its main food market. And if you are wondering what to eat, what to buy, and how to get to San Pedro Market in Cusco<\/strong>, this article will give you the information you need to make the most of your visit.

Pair it with a good cup of Cusco coffee or hot chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 If you are craving something more substantial, a serving of baked suckling pig<\/strong> with bread (tender pork seasoned with local herbs) and chicharr\u00f3n with mote<\/strong> (pieces of fried pork served with boiled corn) are waiting for you.

Variety<\/strong> is the word that best fits and accurately describes the range of products you will find in the fruit and juice; prepared food; Andean vegetables and tubers<\/strong>; meat and fish; artisanal cheeses and dairy products; traditional bakery; medicinal herbs and mystical products<\/strong>; and handicraft and souvenir sections of the colourful, lively, and always appealing San Pedro Market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy handicrafts, let yourself be tempted by the sweaters<\/strong>, chullos (woollen hats), blankets, vests, scarves, and gloves made from sheep, llama, alpaca, and baby alpaca wool<\/strong> that are sold at the market. Textile production is an ancestral activity<\/strong> carried out mainly by women. Many of them use techniques they learned from their mothers and grandmothers, which gives each piece greater value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masks, Andean musical instruments<\/strong>, jewellery made from different materials, ceramics and sculptures, images of saints and virgins<\/a>, paintings depicting rural scenes, among other objects, will catch your attention. Let yourself be tempted and buy as much as you can<\/strong>. This will help support the artisans\u2019 livelihoods and is the best way to preserve the artistic expressions<\/strong> of popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add coffee<\/a> and cacao to your shopping \u201clist\u201d. These are grown and harvested in the cloud-forest and upper-jungle valleys of the provinces of Calca and La Convenci\u00f3n, along with cheeses from Andean communities<\/strong> and artisanal bread, especially the bread baked in Oropesa, a district in the province of Quispicanchi that was declared the \u201cNational Capital of Bread<\/strong>\u201d in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to combat altitude sickness or soroche<\/a> or are going to take part in a ceremony of gratitude or a payment to Pachamama or the Apus<\/strong>, buy coca leaves. You will find them in the medicinal herbs and mystical products<\/strong> section, where products used by shamans and traditional healers<\/strong> in their ceremonies are sold. Look carefully at the stalls because you are likely to find more than one surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
