The Pisac Archaeological Park offers a deeply enriching cultural experience, complemented by the stunning natural scenery. It’s fascinating to learn about how the Incas cultivated and stored food, domesticated guinea pigs, and managed their work schedules. Another striking feature is the cliffside tombs visible across the river, where the burial holes carved into the cliffs are truly breathtaking.
The surrounding mountains appear almost surreal, making you feel as if you’re the size of an ant, with gorgeous vistas that are a feast for the eyes. I strongly recommend visiting with a guide to fully appreciate the rich history and stories of this site. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen; despite the cloudy weather, we ended up with quite sunburned ears. Pisac is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone interested in the grandeur of nature and the ingenuity of Inca civilization.
