These last few weeks in Urubamba I've heard a lot of praise for the Pisac market, so Melissa and I got up early on a Sunday to check it out. The one-hour, each way bus trip was certainly worth it. This is what the Urubamba market aspires to. (Although this food is only moderately more appetizing than what you see in Urubamba.)
The sprawling, open layout of the Pisac market is nice, but unfortunately the physical marketplace in Urubamba is already built.
The street is just one of about a dozen lined with vendors, sometimes two deep. I´d guess there were nearly two hundred vendors at the Pisac market - compared to sixty in Urubamba - and the average vendor in Pisac has roughly four times at much merchandise. It´s no wonder this is such a tourist draw.
