Peru Market Machu Picchu: Silver and Ponchos 🇵🇪

■ MACHU PICCHU, PERU: When people hear Machu Picchu, they probably don't think of shopping, but there is nevertheless a market there as soon as you get off the train and start wandering towards either the ruins or your hotel. So naturally I felt compelled to go and check out what was on sale plus gauge the prices there vis-a-vis other markets in Cusco and Bolivia.
To say that the prices shocked me would be understatement of the year.... this is by far the priciest market I've visited in South America but they did indeed have some nice things for sale. Bargains though, they were not, as many vendors would not budge even one Soles. That made for a pretty entertaining back and forths...

[@Alfosan2010]

Somewhere in a paralel universe there is a lama called Jeffrey buying ponchos for his stuffed Harald.

[@ozymandias8523]

Yeah like when he gave the taxi 50 soles( 16 dolars at that time) wtf that’s basically 5 times more than real price, and the tshirts(20soles(6 dolars at that time) are a good price for a turistic market , lol even for peruvian wage standards.

Agree. Or bargained, got the price he wanted and then gives 1 coin(1sole?) back to the lady and she thanks him for that 😔

18:00 She meant instead of busy “ don’t be LAZY ! 😄 prices are incredible expensive in Aguas calientes you should go to buy in San Pedro Market in Cuzco centre there are lots of things and cheaper , you can even try typical food and exotic fruits ! I bought jumpers with Peruvian designs for my family and they were around 30- 40-50 so it’s the half price ! 😅 Black in Spanish is Negro 😊 Who is that is QUIEN ES El ( boy ) or ELLA ( girl ) ? Greetings Harald ! I really like you videos :)

[@CeciliaTupac]

Shadowman :o I did not know that ! Thanks !🙌🏻

[@jandy2752]

Harald, prices will be 2x more expensive in Aguas Calientes because it’s the town of Machu Picchu (even the money exchange is different there).Prices are “high” for anywhere as for Peru itself because it’s a very touristy country not to mention its economy is pretty decent. It will be very hard to bargain there even for locals that’s why you shouldn’t go on a shopping hunt there it’s a tourist trap for anyone. They usually buy all they’re products from other small local stores. I recommend you going to San Pedro market in Cusco and around there are many local shops where you can bargain for good deals but don’t expect it to be anywhere as cheap at Asia. A lot of the material they sell are fine, such as baby alpaca, handmade, leather etc. Even for locals prices aren’t too far apart people pay for good material. The lowest I paid for that same exact Inca cola shirt was 15 soles in Cusco City (after bargaining as well) considering your in Aguas Calientes I think you did great! For the Pancho or any sweaters make sure to ask them how much baby alpaca it has, you can lower price depending on how much baby alpaca the clothing has or what it’s mixed with. If you want to buy pure baby alpaca, or vicuña ( which is the worlds best fabric better then cashmere) go to certified stores such as Kuna. Though expensive it will twice as expensive anywhere outside of Peru. Peru is one of the few countries that exports this material The demand is high in Peru just because it’s developing country does not mean everything will be cheap. This is something to definitely consider

@@jamief6507 No. Tourist attractions have outrageous lease prices. So, the owner of those stores are getting charged a TON of money for it because there's a market for it. As a result, they need to raise the prices. Just because you are in a third world country, it doesn't mean prices will be extremely cheap.
