Diversas frutas para la venta, mercado, Pisac, Perú, 2010.A large part of the market in Pisac is devoted to tourist treasures, for Pisac is easily accessible and thus is part of a popular day trip for tourists in staying in Cuzco in order to visit Machu Picchu. This photo comes from a part of the market which serves the day to day needs of local residents. The array of mostly locally grown fruits and vegetables is awesome - tropical fruits like bananas, common summer stone fruits from mid-latitudes, and apples, generally a product of colder climates. The variety of climatic niches available to highland peoples in the Peruvian Andes explains the variety, for within a few tens of kilometers from Pisac all kinds of growing conditions (from humid tropical through desert to temperate mid-latitude) can be found. -- source link
