Places to visit:

Ollantaytambo. This word is composed from the Quechua language, Ollanta which is a person’s name, and Tambo (or Tanpu) which refers to a city offering lodge, food and commodities for travellers.  According to classic literature, Ollanta was a captain that formed part of the Inca Pachacutec army and was distinguished from others for his courage and great skill.  He had a secret love affair with the King’s daughter, and the story ended well and happy, with a daughter born and given the name Ima Sumaq.

Pisac Market. Located about 35 kilometers from Cusco city, we first stop at the Pisac Market, one of the oldest and impressive markets in the area.  It was once a place for the Inca people to interchange products including textiles, ceramics, and jewelry and is still a place offering these same handcrafted items as well as paintings

Pisaq Ruins. This was a fortified city on the way toward the Antisuyo or Amazon jungle that according to many historians was established there to protect the great capital of possible enemy attacks.  Nowadays you can see the walls that protected this place, in addition to viewing many agricultural terraces that were used to produce food for the Quechuas, some of the houses, and remains of aqueducts and fountains that served to supply the whole area.
