Pisac/Pisaq is very large set of ruins and its sheer size makes it very impressive. There are many examples here of where the land had once been terraced to support different types of crops. I was travelling with 3 other people who stopped and spent a good part of the day here on the way from Cusco/Cuzco to Ollantaytambo.

The ruins at Pisac are stunning and differentiated from nearby Macchu Picchu as they were a more central part of Inca civilisation, rather than a detached "secret" city. This shows itself in the ruins' connection to the valleys surrounding, where several thousand Incas lived.
