Pisac Ruins in the Sacred Valley of the Incas

Pisac Ruins, located about 33 kilometers from Cusco, Peru, are situated near the town of Pisac on a mountaintop and cover a vast area. A thorough exploration requires half a day. I joined a local tour, which was time-limited but provided fascinating historical insights and interesting anecdotes.
The site features houses built along the mountain, with stone walls and thatched roofs, exuding a strong sense of history. The small cavities on the mountain walls were once burial sites for commoners during the Inca period. The semi-circular terraces extending from the mountain down into the valley are truly spectacular. Hundreds of years ago, the Incas cultivated these terraces, but since being designated as a national cultural heritage site, they are now protected and no longer used for farming.
From the mountaintop, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the beautiful valley, creating unforgettable memories.
