The Pisaq Archaeological Park (or Pisac) is a group of Inca buildings (a fortified city) that is located in the district of Pisaq, in the province of Calca, in the department and region of Cusco. At an altitude of 2 972 meters above sea level, and settled on a mountain near the town of Pisaq. It is believed that its strategic location provided greater security to the building in addition to being in a control area. The place also protected him, by height, from possible attacks by the Anti people, with whom they were in constant enmity. It is said that the architectural ensemble that forms Pisac would have been built during the tenth and eleventh centuries of our era, in the period of the Inca expansion and would have had urban and religious purposes. The name of Pisac or Pisac, does not have a definite translation, although there are people who believe that it could be derived from the Quechua word pisaqa, in relation to a bird, whose form would also have tried to be represented in the design of the territory. At the architectural level, in Pisac we can observe, that in the same way that the majority of the Inca constructions is built with stone carved, in such a way that the angles of them fit perfectly one on another making unnecessary the use of some type of mortar for the union of the same.
It was an Inca town. Preserves in time: houses, streets and canals as in the time of Tahuantinsuyo. The name of the town and the archaeological zone is due to the cacique Ollanta, who, according to the oral tradition, fell in love with a princess daughter of the Inca Pachacútec and was severely punished. In the set of Ollantaytambo, located on the hill overlooking the town, buildings such as the Temple of the Sun and its gigantic monoliths stand out: the Mañaracay or Royal Hall, the Incahuatana and the Princess Baths. In the upper part stands a fortress, with a series of terraces of carved stone, built to protect the valley from the possible invasions of ethnic groups that came from the jungles. One of the best preserved areas extends to the north of Hanan Huacaypata Square: a total of 15 blocks of mansions built on carved stone walls.
Chinchero was an important urban center whose main center was located where today is the church, in its vicinity are exhibited formidable walls of assembled polyhedrons that form retaining walls giving shape to the platforms, we can also see large rooms with windows, niches, doors and accesses. The current main square, where the Sunday fairs are held, concludes with an Inca wall on the eastern side, which has 12 niches, each 2m high and 1.50m wide. This wall in turn serves as a paramento and containment to another square that acts as an atrium in front of the Church. Also in the area we find the remains of three shrines called Titiqaqa, Pumaqaqa, Chincana; which are enormous outcrops of limestone carefully carved, by the ancient Peruvians, in the form of seats, stairways, cupboards and canals. There is a group of terraces built obeying the conformation of the terrain.

a very reliable company, we made the payment by card we were assured of the quotas to the sacred valley and machu picchu, but of course, we must reserve many months in advance, especially for machu picchu. A company we can trust.
The tour operator did not show at the planned meeting point and time! With assistance from our Hotel and Viator, we were able to contact the tour operator and arrange for the tour to begin one hour later. Viator must require operators review tour information as shown on Viator, and the tour operators officially communicate any tour changes to Viator and its customers. Further, Viator must require tour operators to contact and confirm tour information with customers before the start of tours. This did not happen! That said, the provided tour guide and driver were excellent. They went above and beyond to re-plan our tour to effectively and efficiently conclude one hour early, as we had plans directly after the conclusion of the original tour completion time.
We loved the service they offered us, we did the sacred valley tour as well as machu picchu, they always offered us the best from the beginning, solving all our doubts, lunch in hot waters the best and the attention of the guides perfect
We were recommended by this agency some friends, everything was spectacular, the guide attended us as a professional, the staff always attentive. They helped us with everything from start to finish.
We loved the service we were offered, very punctual, always professional, the tour well organized. The stay was the best. Thank you very much.
I highly recommend Maritaa. She’s a great, wonderful and very helpful guide — I’d definitely use her services again in future.
Maria (guide) and Jose Antonio (driver) were wonderful. I learned so much and enjoyed their company and conversation immensely. Maria had a vast knowledge of everything Incan and the local culture. We were lucky enough to see a Condor that Maria pointed out as we arrived at Pisac. Definitely recommend this tour with Maria and Jose who was amazing at navigating the curvy, narrow roads!
My visit to the Sacred Valley of Cusco was an unforgettable experience, full of history, breathtaking landscapes and living culture. Sites like Ollantaytambo and Pisac stand out, where the Inca architecture and energy of the place deeply impact. Services were generally good: punctual transportation, friendly and knowledgeable guides. Be amazed at the local cuisine. Recommended for those seeking cultural connection and nature.
We had such an incredible day with our guide, Maria, and driver, Donicio, exploring Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, and Pisac. From the moment we were picked up, everything was easy and comfortable. Maria’s knowledge of the Sacred Valley was amazing—she shared history, culture, and local stories in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. She answered all our questions and made each site feel special. Donicio was a fantastic driver—safe, professional, and so friendly. He navigated the winding roads with ease, and we always felt completely at ease in his care. He was also quick to help with anything we needed and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The tour was perfectly planned and paced. We had plenty of time at each stop to explore, shop, take pictures, and soak in the views without feeling rushed. We also got to see beautiful viewpoints and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. If you’re visiting the Sacred Valley, I can’t recommend Maria and Donicio enough. They make the perfect team and turned our day into an unforgettable experience!
Very good peruvipviajes care, we carried out the tour calmly, visited the places indicated in the program and in general everything very pleasant. Recommended, good luck!
