In Cusco’s vibrant street markets, life bursts forth in a riot of color and sound. Andean

communities descend from the mountains, bringing their handcrafted goods, fresh produce, and unique traditions. The air is filled with laughter, music, and the hum of conversations in Quechua and Spanish — a sensory feast that encapsulates the spirit of the Andes.
