The goods for sale at the market -- largely sweaters and ponchos, tapestries and rugs, musical instruments, and carved gourds -- are familiar to anyone who's spent a day in Cusco, but prices are occasionally lower on selected goods such as ceramics. While tourists shop for colorful weavings and other souvenirs, locals are busy buying and selling produce on small streets leading off the plaza. The market begins at around 9am and lasts until midafternoon. It is so well-worn on the Cusco tourist circuit that choruses of, "¿Foto? Propinita," (photograph for a tip) ring out among the mothers and would-be mothers who come here to show off their children, dressed up in adorable local outfits. On nonmarket days, bustling Pisac becomes a very quiet, little-visited village with few activities to engage travelers.
