Cuzco Market

This market is where the local residents shop. It is open every day from 6 am to 6 pm. You name it, it is for sale here in raw form, dried or cooked. One section had counters that reminded me of old Woolworths counters from the past in US. The difference was the an individual seller only had 6 feet of counter space. So there were many cooks to choose from. Some of the counters were 100 feet long.
