We will take a short drive to the town of Calca, and visit the traditional local market. In the market we will see everything, from meat, fish, poultry, to beans, fruits, vegetables, herbs, potatoes, corn, clothing, radios and cellphones. Some of the produce is brought from Lima or Arequipa, but mostly from the region including some from the cloud forest, like: coffee, cocoa leaves, cacao, bananas, pineapples and yucca. But our most important purpose, is meeting the people, especially the delightful women who give life to the market, who flirt (in a nice and respectful way) especially with everyone that visits them more than once. You will love Sonia, Lourdes, Juana and many more...we will try tamales, fruits, fresh bread, olives and nuts. A party of personalities, colors and flavors.
