Located at the Eastern end of Sacred Valley (the opposite end to Machu Picchu and about 30Km North of Cusco, Pisac is the most significant Inca Ruin after Ollantaytambo.
The road climbs from the Pisac township in the valley and the ruins are 3,400m above sea level ( similar to Cusco in height)and about 350m above the town.
The agricultural terraces are still used.
Pisac Ruins show that the Incas could conquer building and living in difficult terrains.
The flowers at this altitudes are beautiful.
The central element of the site is the Templo del Sol - it is an astronomical observatory,
The mother was making sure that her kids got in the photo and were paid for the pleasure.
