Pisac Q'allaqasa (citadel) — Attraction in Pisac

Pisac is a beautiful archaeological site and worth it's own visit rather than part of a tour with other sites. You can catch a taxi or collectivo from Cusco into Pisac town, then cross the bridge and either hike up or take one of the waiting taxis to the top entrance.

You can either take a taxi back down or just walk back down to the town when you are finished. Then spend the rest of the day wandering around this interesting little place, maybe eating at the market before buying souvenirs. They are mostly the same souvenirs you see all over...

You will also see a picture with rock look closely because those holes in the rock are/were burial ruins. To note, as Pisac grew with population, terraces would be added for the...

Amazing ruins! I probably liked this place even more than Machu Picchu. So nice and peaceful, with lots of history behind every wall. Almost no people! We started the hike from the main square in Pisac all the way up. Not too difficult but better take it slow. Breathtaking views all around! Important: tickets are 70S for 2 days or 130S for 10 days. The last one covers many sites in Sacred...
