HOW EXPENSIVE IS CUSCO? | Orion Supermarket Prices | Cost of Living in Peru
On this vlog, we take you along with us to explore our Cusco Grocery Store tour - the Orion Supermarket in Cusco, Peru.
We will show you one aspect of the cost of living in Peru. In this case, some of the Cusco Prices that you can expect to see in a typical supermarket in the city.
How expensive is Peru grocery shopping?
Well, to give you some perspective, we walked through the whole supermarket to talk about the common things and their prices you can find here at Orion. It ranges from food and other necessities, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats, to the junk food section and alcohol. We even show you the prices of alcohol in Peru, including Cusqueña beer, a brand of popular beer in Peru.
We hope that this vlog is helpful to everybody, especially for planning budget travel in Peru.

The Orion Market is more of a convenient store for tourists and locals; however, most locals make their purchases at the local market. Most Peruvians don’t consume peanut butter and Nutella therefore they import them mainly for foreigners. Perú it’s still in the beginning stages of growing the craft beer industry. The foreign alcohol is more expensive due to the cost of import and taxes. Anyway! I’m glad you all were able to visit.

The bread looks good and it is cheap. It is a shame there isn't much variety in cheese. Can you find many imported goods? This is a really interesting video idea, I may do a similar one for where I am now in Thailand. I want to try Inca kola! Pisco is lovely so that is good to see it is not too expensive there.

Inka Cola tastes like a cross between cream soda and a little bit of Mountain Dew. Or something like that. We're going to be in Thailand at the end of next month. Not sure where yet, exactly.
I visited that Orion place in Cusco and really like inka cola and the other purple corn drinks. They also have great ice cream bars.

You can find all the fruits or in general more variety for any product in the market. Any local market or the modern supermarkets in Malls of the city.

Passion fruit = maracuyá. Granadilla, what you showed in your vid, is a different thing, it is actually sweet not sour like maracuya. I don't think granadillas are grown in North America. Here in Canada, you have to pay CAD 3.00 per unit. 😭

Thank you for this video. I didn't realise it was actually so expensive in Peru. Even with the exchange rate, its nearly the same price as the UK for most things. Or more expensive. Can you do one of these types of videos for either Colombia or Mexico please? Ive looked for both countries and there isn't any as fantastic as this.

If you go to Peru and shop as a gringo of course would be expensive 😀 go to SAN Pedro market and buy all fresh and cook , you will have more money 💰 to enjoy tourist places 🥂🌼☘️
that was an interesting video. for those who come to peru, most of the product are cheaper than US or europe. About peanut butter, it's really expensive cause here in peru is not common to eat it as american really do. anyway, hope you had a great time here in Peru. Good vibes !

The taste and texture of passion fruit and granadilla are very similar. The most noticable difference being from the outer appearance. Passion fruit are a bit smaller, with a dark reddish purple color. And granadilla skin is yellow tinged with a bit of orange. They seem so similar because they are from the same genus. There was an article I found however from the university of Florida. And it talks about the history of passion fruit. Stating that the first European report of passion fruit was by Cieza de Leon in 1553 when he was a civil servant in Colombia (Fulmer and macdougal 2004) he called the fruit " granadilla" ( small pomegranates)which was potentially passiflora ligulares. So anyway don't worry too much about it. My wife is Peruvian and she calls it granadilla In Spanish and passion fruit in english

@@Andrew-om1pw have you tried both fruits? Because I’m from Peru and I grew up eating granadilla which is sweet unless you are confusing it with granada fruit, as there is granadilla, granada and passion fruit. I recommend you to eat all three and you’ll taste the difference

@@zariapamelabyrne50 yes I've tried passion fruit and it's a bit sour for me. The granadilla is a bit sweeter. The granadilla genus is passaflora, the family is passafloraceae, and the species is ligulares. The purple passion fruit genus is passaflora, the family is passafloraceae, and the species is Edulis. So the 2 have the same genus the same family, but different species. Like my wife she is Peruvian and I'm Irish. But our kids are related to us both. Our kids look more like me than there mother. And when my wife was at the store with our daughter a woman confronted my wife because she didn't think that she was her daughter. I did ask my wife , and she agrees with you. But I think they are not the same but similar

It is cheap to live in Peru. However it is a third world country. Millions who live here have no toilets or access to clean running water. The people are rude and mostly offensive. My advice is don't come here to live.
