Description
Immerse yourself in the authentic culinary life of Cusco with a walking tour of a traditional market. Discover the secrets of native potatoes, giant corn, and exotic fruits and foods.
Experience the tour at the historic San Pedro Market. Stroll through its aisles guided by a local expert who will reveal the secrets behind the immense variety of native potatoes, the giant corns of the Sacred Valley, and seasonal fruits. Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, learn about the produce that forms the basis of Andean cuisine, and sample some local delicacies in a safe and guided way.
Far from being just a marketplace, San Pedro is a vibrant space where the ancient traditions of the Andes converge with the everyday life of Cusco's residents. Designed in its original structure with the influence of the architect Gustave Eiffel, this market is an explosion of aromas, colors, and textures that no traveler should miss.
To do this, we'll meet at Cusco's Plaza de Armas and then walk for just 12–15 minutes to the market. After that, we'll visit and explore the entire market for about two and a half hours, and then you can stay or return to the meeting place at Cusco's Plaza de Armas.
