Tourist Attractions

Village of Pisac

Pisac is well known for its craft market, but there are also Inca archeological remnants: an irrigation system, an astronomical observatory, a solar clock and calendar (Intiwatana), and agricultural terraces.

City of Calca
50 km / 31 miles north of Cusco (1 hour and 15 minutes by car)
You find the Huchu’y Qosqo or Little Cusco archeological vestiges there, as well as the Machacancha medicinal hot springs (sulfurous waters), and Minasmoqo (cold, sparkling waters). The snow capped mountains Pitusiray and Sawasiray intensify the beauty of the landscape.
