Mercado Central de San Pedro

There are many cheap accessories, clothes, foods, drinks to buy here. Having some bargains is necessary. You can enjoy the plaza outside the market, a pleasant place to stay for 1-2 hour. I bought two stylish sweaters.

It's not just tourists who eat and shops here, the locals do too. They've got local stuff, food, fresh produce, drinks, souvenirs, and even pisco. I love chicken soup, and a bunch of places sell it, but only the one on the corner is packed. It's so good, with a savory broth and juicy chicken. There are also lots of fresh fruit juice stands, and they're all good. They squeeze it fresh, no ice, no sugar, it's so fresh and delicious. You should check out this market before 10 am, otherwise, it'll be super crowded.

If you’re in Cusco and have the time to explore the city, San Pedro is really nice place to visit and explore the local products and cuisine!! Nice atmosphere to be among the locals and enjoy your time!!

A colorful and authentic local market! The San Pedro Market is a must-visit in Cusco. It’s full of life, colors, and amazing local products. You can find everything here — fresh fruits, local food, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. The atmosphere is lively and authentic, giving you a real taste of Peruvian culture. It’s also a great place to try traditional dishes and interact with friendly local vendors. Walking through the aisles is an experience full of scents, sounds, and smiles. A true gem in the heart of Cusco !

Our tour guide took us here and introduced us to some native fresh fruit and get to try few of them on the spot. Great experience. This is a genuine market place for the locals but also mixes in few tourists groups. It very humbling to see how hard people work here and how lucky we are.

Sprawling marketplace offering a large variety of everything from local arts and crafts to juices and smoothies. Great spot for people watching. Make sure to do some good natured negotiating before buying, it's expected and it can be a lot of fun!

We then entered into San Pedro Market itself. First impressions? Clean and spacious. Unlike the markets we’ve seen in Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar, we were pretty surprised to see high ceilings that offers excellent ventilation as well as grouping of stalls according to what they sold. For instance, you will be able to find breads in one row, butter and cheese on another. Even at the food area, chicken soup is sold in one area, while juices are sold in another. A neatly organised market that changed our perspective of markets here in Cusco and even Peru... For the full review and details of our 5 months Round The World (RTW) travels, visit 2bearbear today!

Visit the local market for shopping. You can find quinoa, spices, small handbags, Sal de los Incas (Peruvian salt), and Peruvian cologne like Florida Water. They also offer mini souvenir sizes of the salt and cologne—perfect for gifts.
