Pisac is formed by a set of enclosures on top of a mountain that may have been houses, aqueducts, trails, bridges, cemetery walls and big areas of agriculture terraces, its walls are built with large blocks polished stones with extraordinary symmetry and accuracy. The traditional market of Pisac still retains its usual custom of bartering (exchange goods without using money). URUBAMBA: Located 57 kilometers away from Cusco to 2875 masl considered as the biblical paradise, today Urubamba is one of the prettiest villages in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The City of Urubamba was one of the major agricultural centers of the Incas, adjacent to the city are Inca terraces and are pre-Columbian walls, likewise famous for its chicha de Jora drink made based on fermented corn. Urubamba currently produces the best corn in the world (about 50 types of corn) and an abundance of fruits such as peach, cherry tree, quince and strawberries, as the area has a perfect climate all year round. OLLANTAYTAMBO: Ollantaytambo located 90 km away from Cusco, built by Pachacutec to watch over the entrance to the valley and protect it from possible invasion from the tribes of the jungle. This place is the only city of the Incas of Peru which is still inhabited because it has complex archaeological, administrative, livestock, agricultural and outstanding urban planning, are built on a 600 ha. Ollantaytambo was the headquarters of Manco Inca and from there organized the attack against Hernando Pizarro out victorious and that battle is remembered as the greatest victory of Manco Inca against the Spanish. After Manco Inca in 1537 received a letter from Diego de Almagro as he returned from his failed expedition of Chile where he proposed to join forces and conquer Cusco but Manco Inca did not believe him and threw him Urubamba Valley. We will have the opportunity to walk through the narrow streets and get a clear idea of what was this strategic military, religious and cultural life during the Inca Empire. CHINCHEROS: Located 28 km away from Cusco to 3780 masl with a population of 10,000 people, during the Inca time was strategically located at the road leading to Machu Picchu, the plateau is surrounded by lagoons Huaypo and Piuray, likewise of the snowy picks Salcantay, Soray and Veronica. Chinchero was founded by the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, who built terraces, aqueducts, baths, temples and the great royal palace (1480), where he currently is seen in the main square colonial buildings on an Inca building. On Sundays in the traditional market you can see to the locals practicing the barter system (exchange of goods without using money).
