Pisac

It took us a while to get to Pisac. We passed by a small village call Corao. I think today will be more of a shopping stop. Both Pisac and Corao are all about marketplace and buying things.

Pisac is more interesting though since it's a much bigger city/market than Corao. We also saw Guinea Pig and drank some more of Chicha Morada. We also …

Amaru Homestay

One of the things I try to do when traveling is to get off the tourist trail. To not just follow the crowds and to do activites that benifit the local communites and not just the owners of the tour companies and hostels and chain resteraunts.

To that end I decided to do a home stay orgnaised by Peru Treks, the same company I did my Inca …

Pisac

Pisac and it's citadel control the strategic route connecting the Inca's in Cusco to the eastern jungle. The Inca fortress is perched dramatically in a cradle in the mountains above the modern day market of Pisac. The Pisac ruins are the largest that we had come across in Peru, an obviously important fortress. Pisac is perhaps the most famous for …

Market time, hold on to your valuables!!

Pisac is a lovely little town which is famous for its sunday markets. However they have found this market so profitable that now its on almost everyday in one form or another. I heard big market and of course had to go! We decided to go on our way to the sacred valley and machu picchu since it was on the way. Aside from the annoying hasselling by …

Lots of terracing

The drive to Pisac was pretty short, the whole Sacred Valley is less than 100 km. When we entered the ruins, we asked and were told that we could camp there.

The caretaker told us Pisac is larger than Machu Picchu in size (but not density). There are a few small Inca villages scattered around the hilltop with massive agricultural …

The ruins of Pisaq

I bid farewell to Bolivia as we took off from El Alto airport early in the morning. It was only a 58-minute flight from La Paz to Cusco. I hit the ground running in Cusco, and by early afternoon, I was already in a colectivo climbing over the hills and descending into the Sacred Valley for my first stop: Pisaq.

The fortress of Pisaq was …

Markets and Inca Sites in the Sacred Valley

We decided to get a local bus from Cusac to a little market town about 33km north-east called Pisac. We read they had some markets which were worth a visit on a Sunday, so Sunday morning we got up, checked out the hostel and got a taxi down to the bus terminal. We bought 2 tickets to Pisac amidst the chaos of the local bus terminal, and watched our …

Sunday Night in Pisac, Sacred Valley, Peru

One woman almost accidently touching a cow leg that was hung up on display outside of a market-stall. She screamed and cursed the culture here.


TOURISTS COME AND LEAVE QUICKLY

At 2 pm the tourists arrive in hoards of buses that clog into traffic-jam in the one-lane roads. By 6pm tourists gone, vendors deconstructing wooden …

La vallée Sacrée des Incas

Le 25 juin 2009

Nous voici donc partis pour la Vallée sacrée des Incas. Nous commençons par la visite du marché de Pisac très touristique mais agréable à visiter car il n'y a pas beaucoup de monde.

On enchaine ensuite par le site de Pisac où malgré l'altitude il fait super chaud. Il faut grimper environ 300 marches donc arrivés en …
