MERCADO DE SAN PEDRO
Esta amaneciendo son las seis de la mañana y ya habían abierto los puestos en el mercado San pedro. Desde las cuatro y media empiezan a llegar las mamachas y taytas (ellos se denominan “mamá” y “papá” en quechua y lo mismo dicen al visitante), aquí se puede ver un torbellino de polleras multicolores, mantas que sirven para cargar a las huahuas (bebés). Los taytas vienen con sus chuspas, las bolsitas donde portan las hojas de coca, para mascar durante todo el día, mientras abastecen el puesto, donde vende o hace trueque la mujer. Un intenso olor recorre todo el mercado, dominando sobre los demás: estan haciendo chocolate, el producto afrodisíaco que consumía Atahuallpa y que tanto gustó a los españoles.
