Pisac

• This attraction is in one of the most important archaeological regions. Possibly its name comes from a very common type of Bird in this area known as "p’isaqa." Some scholars suggest that the pre-Columbian city was in the form of a pisaqa, representing the local faun. Today, there is a colonial Town named P’isaq.
• In the Inca City, there is a famous Local Market full of crafts and local products.

Ollantaytambo

• The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious, and agricultural center. The architectural scene is exceptional in the size, style, and originality of its buildings. For the Quechua language, the name comes from the word
• Ollanta (which is the name of an Inca captain whose story was saved as an oral tradition and written as a drama by Antonio Valdez Urubamba priest in the mid-eighteenth century) is also a Spanish derivation of the word tampu (Tambo) in Quechua, which means
• "A city that offers accommodation, food, and comfort to passengers."
• Agricultural activity in this area benefited from the presence of the Patacancha Creek, where there are large terraces that are currently damaged and abandoned.

Chinchero

• The typical Chinchero is an Inca city; the conquerors wanted to "civilize" and establish their culture but never succeeded because they fully resisted. Today, you can see this resistance in its inhabitants, as they inhabit the Inca constructions almost intact, in the same place where their ancestors lived and formed the largest and most prosperous civilization in America.
• The Rainbow City is located 28 km away. northwest of Cusco city, over 3,762 meters, at an intermediate location between the highlands and warm valley, surrounded by snow-capped Salkantay, Veronica, and Soray. The view from here is awesome. Chinchero was chosen by the Inca, Tupac Yupanqui, to establish his residence.
