San Pedro Market

Eiffel’s gift to Cusco

San Pedro Market

San Pedro is most famous for its metal roof designed by the French architect Gustav Eiffel, who lived in Cusco for a time and gifted the roof to Cusco in gratitude. This market has the typical sections for fruits, veggies, meats, cheese, bread, fruit juice stalls and a whole section for breakfasts and lunches, served to be eaten at the market.

Unlike other markets in Cusco, it also has a ring of souvenir shops around the outside. If you have a long souvenir or gift list, this is a great place to get everything in one go.
