The Inca ruins of Pisac lie atop a mountain in the Sacred Valley, a fort sits on the ridge, above well-preserved temple rooms and agricultural terraces that insweep down 600 meters, or 2,000 feet, to the bustling Andean village below.
The Incas laid out the temple fortress over the mountaintop to take the form of a partridge.
Below, in the village of Pisac on the banks of the Urubamba River, thousands of visitors visit stalls selling textiles, artwork and food every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday in one of South America's most famous outdoor indigenous markets.
Travelers can either drive up to the ruins, or climb a steep footpath that starts at the main square of Pisac. On reaching the top, youll find the ruins have views into deep gorges, and across to the agricultural terraces that were the breadbasket of the Empire, in the still fertile Sacred Valley.
