Saturday is a quiet time to look through what the market has to offer: weavings, ceramics, paintings, woolen clothing including ponchos, etc.

You can sit back on one of the cafes by the square and watch the locals in their traditional costumes.

In the evening all the stalls are taken apart only to be put up again at dawn.

Make sure to get up early enough to see the spectacle of the square coming back to life. Walk around the impressive Inca ruins of Pisac in the morning to enjoy them before the crowds and to see them bathe in a beautiful orange light.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13938 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7597

Shamanistic potions, religious iconography and, of course, coca leaves, complete the offerings, with the ubiquitous day-glo Inka Cola T-shirts the only nod to Cuzco’s biggest cash cow. As genuine as an Inca wall.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5688
