Mercado Central de San Pedro, Municipal marketplace in central Cusco, Peru
The Mercado Central de San Pedro contains 1180 stalls selling fresh produce, local dishes, handicrafts, textiles, meats, spices, and regional products from the Cusco area.

The market offers meals at local prices, with a complete lunch menu including appetizer costing approximately 1.5 US dollars or 5 Peruvian soles.
