Places to Visit

- Pikillacta "Wari Walled City".
- It was one of the most important administrative centers of the pre-Inca Wari civilization, between the 6th and 9th centuries, and represents planned urbanism par excellence.
- Traditional Market and Archaeological Center of Pisac.
- It is an archaeological complex, located 30 kilometers from the city of Cusco, shaped like a puna partridge. Property of Inca Pachacutec, composed of terraces, domestic and ceremonial structures, and aqueducts that provided water for agricultural exploitation.
- Living City of Ollantaytambo.
- Ollantaytambo is one of the most impressive fortresses of the Tahuantinsuyo, intended for military and religious life. It was built by Pachacutec as a perfect defense. The archaeological site comprises a series of superimposed terraces, showing impressive large finely carved stone blocks located on the upper terrace, such as the Temple of the Sun.
