Below the ruins in the town are the craft markets. We went to a shop our guide Alvaro knew about. They have old Inka pottery and weavings that came from tombs. This is typical of people in the area. They find things on their own land, buy them from others and there is no record of where they came from.
MJ looked at the antique weavings and they tried to sell them.
1. Pisco market
