What You’ll Experience

1

Pisac

Visit and explore the Inca citadel of Pisac. The construction of Pisac was carried out during the government of Emperor Pachacutec in the fifteenth century, during a time of vertiginous territorial expansion. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Spanish in Cusco, Pisac was invaded and its inhabitants fled. Its main monuments were damaged. The Inca cemetery was destroyed and looted. With the Toledo reforms (between 1532 and 1600), Pisac became a reduction of Indians. With the passing of time, the town was established on the slopes of the mountain where the Inca archaeological site is located. Today, Pisac is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Inca archaeological site preserves many of its original structures in a good state of preservation

Nothing more symbolic than cooking what the land gives us, in the land itself (Pachamanca translates as: pot of earth or food from the land). The Pachamanca is, therefore, payment and offering to mother earth (Pachamama). Therefore, it is abundant and generous, because it is shared in community. And of course, it is executed differently according to regional customs.
