- Pisac Market - Known for its charm and scenic beauty, Pisac offers elaborate crafts at its fairs on Thursdays and Sundays, steeped in a rich and colorful tradition. Pisaq is a top destination in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, renowned for its remarkable archaeological sites, comparable only to Machu Picchu. It features an extensive system of Incan terraces that rise dramatically, resembling vast hanging gardens, still usable for agriculture today. The archaeological site, situated at a high elevation, is composed of various neighborhoods. The Intiwatana, the largest pre-Columbian cemetery on the continent, along with its cultivation terraces (andenes) and watchtower turrets, are notable features. Pisaq attracts locals from nearby towns and thousands of visitors. A highlight of these fairs is the parade of authorities or Varayocs, who come to the town to attend mass in Quechua, the region’s primary language. At the top, the Inca ruins of Pisaq boast an impressive system of terraces and a significant stone solar clock, or Intihuatana. Today, Pisaq is one of the most significant Archaeological Parks in the region and a premier tourist destination; its name likely derives from a type of partridge common in the area, known as “p’isaqa.” Some experts suggest the pre-Hispanic city was shaped like a “p’isaqa,” representing the local fauna.
- Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo - Ollantaytambo is a charming village that retains the design of Inca structures, situated at an altitude of 9,160 feet in the Urubamba province. Among its most remarkable attractions are the ceremonial temple dedicated to water worship and a fortress that protected the valley’s entrance from invasions. The temple features a series of terraces stacked atop one another, which visitors ascend via a steep staircase. The fortress is a stone colossus built between two mountains to safeguard the valley. The area also includes the Temple of Inti (the sun god), Incamisana, the Ñustas’ (princesses’) baths, the Cachiccata funerary towers, and a group of tiered, steep terraces on a hillside. Ollantaytambo also features the mountain Pinculluna or Tunupa, which contains remnants of Inca architectural structures that appear to have been a storehouse for various foodstuffs. Ollantaytambo serves as a gathering place for nearby communities, such as the Huayruros de Willoc, identifiable by their red and black ponchos and hats.
- Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero - Chinchero is a quaint Andean village located high on the windswept plains of Anta at 3,765 meters, about 30 kilometers from Cusco. It offers stunning views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, with the Cordillera Vilcabamba and the snow-capped Salkantay peak dominating the western horizon. Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow. Its main tourist attraction is its vibrant Sunday market, which is less tourist-oriented than the Pisac market. The village mainly consists of adobe houses, and locals continue their daily activities in traditional attire. Chinchero may have been a significant town during Inca times. The most striking remnant from this period is the massive stone wall in the main plaza, featuring ten trapezoidal niches. The construction of the wall and many other ruins and agricultural terraces (still in use) are attributed to Inca Tupac Yupanqui, who possibly used Chinchero as a country retreat. In the main plaza, an adobe colonial church, dating from the early seventeenth century, is built upon the foundations of an Inca temple or palace. The ceiling and walls are adorned with beautiful floral and religious designs. The church is open for mass on Sundays. A half-hour walk from the village leads to Lake Piuri, which once supplied water to Cusco. It takes about three hours to walk around the lake, passing through small, picturesque villages.
