Pisac, one of the main tourist stops in the Sacred Valley, is just a 32 km drive from Cusco. Many people come here on a day trip or as part of a day tour of the Sacred Valley. The main attractions in this small town are the Pisac Market and the Pisac Ruins above the town, both of which are well worth seeing. The Pisac Ruins are one of the most
important sites in the Sacred Valley, along with those at Ollantaytambo. The market, held on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays is a good place to pick up some souvenirs and see the Andean Villagers in their traditional clothing.
This is a pleasant little town situated on the bank of the Urubamba River. The main plaza where the market is held also has a beautiful old church and a couple of restaurants nearby. For those with more time to spend in the Sacred Valley this is a good place for spending a night.
