The archaeological complex of Pisac, is situated on top of a mountain from where a good part of the sacred valley is dominated. This wonderful place is formed by groups of platforms and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and on the top of the mountain, Pisac is one of the most beautiful monumental centers of the valley because it combines the landscape with the impeccable finish of its constructions.

You will admire its well preserved Inca Wall in the main square and visit the beautiful colonial temple with interesting frescoes on the porch, built on the foundations of an Inca building.

MORAY

It is located about 7 km southwest of Maras; It is the only archaeological group of its kind in the region. These are depressions or gigantic natural holes in the surface of the land that were used to build terraces or agricultural platforms with their respective irrigation channels in their contours, it is therefore a prototype of greenhouse or biological experimental station quite advanced for its time that helped that the American man of antiquity inherited to mankind 60% of the vegetable products he consumes, that the Andean man consumes a thousand and a half of diverse varieties of potatoes, a hundred and a half of corn, and many other products.

MARAS – SALT MINES

Located to the northwest of the town of Maras they are constituted by about 3000 small wells with an average area of about 5 m², during the dry season they are filled or “irrigated” every 3 days with salt water that emanates from a natural spring located in the part top of the wells so that when the water evaporates, the salt contained in it solidifies gradually, then the salt is beaten and thus granulated; the salt will then be packed in plastic sacks and sent to the region’s markets; Today that salt is being iodized, which is why its consumption is not harmful.

OLLANTAYTAMBO

In the afternoon we visit the Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo, built to monitor the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the inhabitants of the jungle.
