Pisac Archeological Ruins

Description:

• The Incas drew inspiration from nature and hence the historic town of Pisac came to be named after a partridge. Now considered a prime archaeological find, the Intihuatana or the Sun Temple and the caves(the largest pre-Columbian cemetery), nestled by eucalyptus trees on the clay slopes are indeed a breathtaking sight(given the altitude, no pun intended). You can either rough it out or take a guided tour, but be prepared for as many tourists as villagers, if you choose to go on a Sunday. Don't let that stop you from adding color to the local fair, though. Admission is included in the "Tourist Ticket."
