"The True Andean Experience" Pisac by neurochic
Pisac Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 215 photos
Pisac was the first city that I visited in Peru and what a wonderful place to be introduced to the country. Pisac is a rural town on the outskirts of Cusco and here is where you will feel like you are experiencing how Peru must have been many years ago, free from tourism. A lovely town rich in culture and definitely worth a visit.
The outdoor market in Pisac is the main reason why this town was even discovered by tourists. It is a great way to spend an afternoon finding small treasures while engulfing yourself in rich Peruvian culture.
Besides the market, there are also the Pisac Ruins waiting to be enjoyed.
- Pros:Rich in culture, great market, nice people
- Cons:A bit overun with tourists, very noisy at night
- In a nutshell:Beautiful, colorful, lively and rich in culture!
