 Parts of "El Mercado" by El_Sueco
The one I bought has the theme "El mercado" (the market) and was very elaborated and nicely done. A real masterpiece! Photo shows just a little part of the cloth (total measurements 85x80 cm). You can find these in different sizes, but if you can, do buy a big one!
Depending on size, 20-50 USD. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsAddress: Central street in A.C.

 some items for sale by kzapanta
Alpaca wool clothing of every kind is everywhere in Peru, especially in all the tourist cities. No more is that more true than in Agua Caliente. But Agua Caliente also has some items and gifts in the various street vendors that we could not find anywhere else we went to. (Cuzco, Puno, Lima)
Suprizingly, with some hard negotiating, the prices up in Agua Caliente are only a few soles more expensive than in Puno so I would actually suggest to get your fill of what you want to buy as sovenirs and gift here. The benefit here is that the selection is huge giving you choices of exactly what you want and you can bargain a good price since you the next stall will have the same thing too. Also, the silver jewelry, crafts, plates, etc... are unique to Agua Caliente, it will be much harder to find and the selection very slim outside Agua Caliente.
Always negotiate for a dramaticaly lesser price. Theme: OtherDirections: The open street vendors in the middle of town, next to the train station. Not the shops with actual brick walls and doors.

 cusco market by richiecdisc
We are partial to chocolate when hiking. It is especially good mixed with nuts. This way you get some protein that lasts longer along with the quick fix of sugar. Crackers can come in handy to fill up on breaks before lunch. They also sell these dryish power bars make of grains. Though you need to drink a lot of water with them, it is a perfect energy food. Dry fruits and nuts are readily available too.
Street vendors generally sell things a bit cheaper than proper shops especially if you ask the price first. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 waiting for the train in Aguas
Caliente by richiecdisc
Street stall food, even baby beef heart kebabs, are a great break from the food you ate on the trek. By now, you have finished your chocolate supply too so here's your chance to stock up before the train ride home.
Prices are maybe slightly higher than Cusco, but who cares at this point, you are starving right? Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 colorful market by tedandtina
Lively and a whole bunch of merchants. Please try and walk around to check out the items and prices. The prices and designs can vary considerably as you walk deeper into the market area. Bargain and you will find some pretty good deals. Kids Panchos are so nice and finely decorated. We paid 6$ for a girls pancho size 8, for reference. T-shirts were about 7$ for the embroidered and about 4 $ for iron ons. Just for reference.
In Pisac, many children approached us to take photos ot to their shop or to help translate.
Blankets tshirts handicraft items Llama and Peruvian dolls etc
Some prices we actually paid are listed above Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Pisac
