Pisac

Well, if we weren't surprised by what we found here! It's not as though Pisac is some kind of secret, it's in every book and every Google search for things to do in the Cusco area.

But wow! It's not a super busy place, we almost had it to ourselves, this huge Incan city surrounded by growing terraces high up in the mountains outside Pisac.

Historians believed it served multiple purposes as a fortress, city, farmland, and may have been built as a gift to Incan nobility.

The views were absolutely spectacular, the construction was really something to behold (something we are learning about the Incans), and of course the company was fantastic.

Great day trip from Cusco!Läs mer
