Peru: Pisac ... markets for tourists !

You will see in most of tour operators in Peru a visit at a "traditional" peruvian market ...

As a matter of fact, this market is no longer a traditional one as many of tourists could conceive ..
but it looks weirdly so close to our markets in France, UK, Germany, etc.. where some people are really trying to make us believe this artefact is made by hand or is seldom sold !!!

Believe me, thanks to growing tourism in Peru since several years (and i can't see why it should decrease ... except if terrorism is back in Peru as during the 80's), traditional markets along the usual tour operator route across Peru will become rare ...

and, here are the good news, at the usual stop and vista points tourists do & go, peruvian will wait for our coming ... no need to go anymore to Pisac .. the very traditional stop & visit & buy day in your sacred valley tour !!

here are some pictures of what i call "market for tourists" ... or maybe american tourists are enough stupid to believe they are not for tourists !

because they all sell the same things ... up to you to negotiate the best price ...





... and this is what is left from the traditional peruvian market (i was fool not to spend more time within its alleys !!) ... which part is smaller and smaller:
