The morning coffee situation has been sketchy at Sach’a Munay, despite repeated requests to remedy the situation.

“Take notes in the market,” I said, and she did! Tamara doing her homework, making her teacher very happy. He sat down and ordered his favorite juice with no hesitation.Īpparently Jello is very popular in Peru. But Adam, from Australia, who’s spearheaded the permaculture at Sach’a Munay and much of the garden at the school had no such reservations. Brenda said these smoothies could be a one for the unacclimated stomach-definitely to be avoided. But when we leave here, I’m going back to cooked foods only. I’ve been eating the beautiful salads at Sach’a Munay with no problem. Cooked, hot food and fruit you can peel yourself is a 10. She uses a scale of food safety from 1-10 and says we all have to moderate our own risk. Brenda warned us to stay away from juice at the market. Each town had its own flavor, style and packaging.Īcross from the cheese merchant was the fresh juice stand. At home I never eat cheese, but when I travel… Delicious and unlike any cheese I’ve ever had before. Be sure to read all the captions under the photos. Here’s your own walking tour in pictures and captions of the Calca Market. Since I don’t speak Spanish and couldn’t converse with any of the sellers, I had to be content to walk around with one of our guides getting the names of things-and later setting out on my own to wander and take in the sights and smells-many familiar and some grossly unfamiliar. The markets are similar to each other, yet they’re also different. I’ve visited markets in Bali, Mexico, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Lebanon, Jordan, all over the United States, and now in Peru. Wherever I go in the world, I love going to the local markets.
