Today I went on a road trip to Urubamba, a small town in the Sacred Valley. It doesn’t have a lot of tourist attractions – it’s a place people pass through on their way to somewhere else, Machu Picchu in one direction, Pisac in the other – but it does have a large local market. So, today I thought we’d take a photographic tour through a typical market where Peruvians do most of their shopping.

The health food store, with some weird
and wonderful remedies |
 |
| Carefully choosing tasty tomatoes |
 |
Every market has a shrine - I presume this is
the patron saint of good business! |
 |
| Peruvians love their flowers |
|
 |
| Legumes |
 |
| Shelling peas between customers |
|
 |
| Luscious limes |
 |
| This deep purple corn is used to make the drink chichamorada |
 |
| The pumpkins here are huge -- and delicious |
 |
| A happy fruit seller |
 |
| One of the many potato sellers | | | | | | | | | |
|
 |
| Piles of perfect peppers | | | | | |
