The Urcos market is renowned for being a very authentic, local market where indigenous women traders and craftspeople from the surrounding mountain communities sell their wares – ranging from fresh produce to traditional pottery and textiles – directly on the ground or from simple stalls. The typical round hill hats (monteras) and hand-woven garments are characteristic of the indigenous people of this Andean region. – Cusco – Peru – 1976
