Pisaq market – Peru
There’s something about the local markets of South America that cause me to wand around them for ages – although I would never wear the colourful, handmade clothing or drape the fabric around my home, the vibrant colours always attract me.
Beautiful
Color!
Thanks for these images!
Great great GREAT presentation of those wonderful fabrics! Of course I love them, and I enjoy using them, especially on tables. Z
What beautiful colours! I couldn’t resist making a purchase when I was in Peru and I think I see a similar table cloth in your photos. Thanks for the memory prompt.
I loved the colors of Peru, and you captured them beautifully!
Colourful….
Wonderful shots – just make you want to run your hands through the colours!
This is absolutely stunning … love all the intense colors .. and details. Thank you so much.
I love the vibrant colors!!
I love all the colours and warmth. Gorgeous pictures.
Stunning textiles. I love the vibrancy of the colours that they use.
Amazing colours, art truly covers a broad spectrum of presentation: these beautiful textiles (and the way you have photographed them) are works of art.
Oh, how I would love to go there!! I would buy one of everything!!!
I purchased textiles at the market in Otavala, Ecuador…tablecloths, table runners and a duffel bag to bring them home. I gave them as gifts and I use mine. I love the colors and textures found in market places. Beautiful shots.
Thanks Lynne

It reflects the country
I can almost feel the fabrics!
Awesome colours.
Love all the colours of Peru. Great market shots.
Thanks Anita
WOW! Love the beautiful colors and patterns. I think I would frame one as a piece of art.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you francine
These colors have always spoken to me. Their vibrancy always stirs something within me. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Cathy
So beautiful…
Wow, such a cacophony of colour!
Yes it was a bit of an eyefest
Stunning colors and awesome workmanship. My daughter just got back from a trip to Peru where she was helping in the clinic at Belen in Iquitos and she bought me back a lovely woven basket. It amazed me that even in the midst of such terrible poverty, people were still able to produce such beautiful items.
And the sad thing is that they sell them so cheap for all that hard work
So fabulously vivid, it hurts my eyes!
what gorgeous colours! Such vibrancy and life, an enormous pleasure!

Wow! I’m a color person and you caught all my favorite colors. Love it, love it, love it.
Thanks Pat,
It is gorgeously folk art, made by people who reflect directly to their outside world, There is no place to hide in those brilliant colours, nothing is left unsaid.
Cheers Kristin
Those are absolutely beautiful! Wonderful colours and brilliant photos!
Thank you MBT

Very colourful…amazing pics!!!!
These textile peices are absolutely incredible. I love the vibrant colours, and the woven patterns are mind blowing to me. The colours reminded me a lot of Molas from Panama, which are some of my favourite forms of textile art. This is a link to a picture of one, if you don’t know what they are, though I’m sure someone whose traveled as much as you have probably already has! It’s all different layers of fabric cut into certain shapes and sewn together to make one big picture. I think I’d go blind just trying.
Thanks WN I will check it out as I don’t think I have come across this kind of fabric before
Amazing colors aren’t they? I had fun shooting pics of kids in native garb and I love your fabric filled shots.
Thanks Lissa, I love the vibrancy of the textiles in this area
Beautiful colors!!!
thank you Ioanna
Brilliant colours! Really captures the essence of Peru! Headed there myself in less than a month!
Enjoy
Gorgeous. These remind me of the marketplaces in Thailand – my better half. A lil homesick now. Thank you for stopping by!
Beautiful weren’t they? Love the blue one with the Inca patterns!
Stunning – I love the vibrancy of the South American Markets
These make me ache for the markets in Guatemala
Somewhere I’ve yet to visit
Lovely colourful photographs. I enjoyed looking at them. Well done
Thank you Ralph
Thanks for being a regular visitor to my blog
Love these photos, such vibrant colours!

Thank you Mika – I enjoy your blog too
What a color. Genius!
Nice close-ups! There are some similar markets here in Bolivia. Love the colors, but don’t wear them as I don’t want to end up looking like too much of a tourist. Thanks for sharing these pictures.
That’s a good evaluation: fun to look at, but not something I’d wear or place around my home. Really stunning colours though. You’re right about that.
