Cusco feria
a girl in native costume
Foto? Porfina!
In Cusco the little markets, feria, are filled with women and girls dressed in colorful traditional costumes. Of course, we immediately start taking photos and the response from the enterprising females is to ask for a tip. This is completely in the Inka trading tradition of "something given, something received." I have brought a huge box of crayons from home and the girls are happy to receive a couple of bright colors in exchange, but the women sometimes persist in asking for one Soles, about 30 cents U.S.
