Terraces that wrap the whole mountain, a religious sector with the Intihuatana at 3,300 m, and below it the town and its craft market at 2,972 m. The Classic visits Pisac in the morning for an hour and a half; the VIP ending in Cusco visits it last, at 16:50.
What you see
From the upper sector, the agricultural terraces curve around the mountain in long arcs above the Urubamba. The guided walk covers the religious sector with the Intihuatana and the finest stonework of the site. Then down to the town for the market and, on the VIP, a silver workshop.
Practical
Stairs and uneven paths at the site, taken slowly. The market in the main square sets up daily and is busiest on Sundays. Covered by the Tourist Ticket.
