While stopping at an awesome scenic overlook as we approached the Urubamba River, two young Indian children ("cholitos") made a heavy sales pitch for various handicrafts. I ended up buying this sample of local agriculture, including dried potatoes, corn, other grain, and even a coca leaf.

This is a view of the farm terraces at Pisac, one of the major archeological sites in the Urubamba Valley. The overcast skies and drizzle prevented good photographs, but we were lucky to see several kinds of hummingbirds and other avian species in this lush area.
