Without a guide and without being part of any group. I would set off completely on my own, on a little getaway free from the rush <\/strong>and demands of the clock. I\u2019ll admit it wasn\u2019t a difficult journey, but it was going to be very revealing. I was sure of that, because during my previous visits to the archaeological park I\u2019m now slowly approaching, I was left with the feeling that there was still so much more to discover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That curiosity led me to devise a strategy, one I would carry out in several stages. The first phase was simple \u2014 at least in theory. After all, it\u2019s never easy to leave the historic<\/strong> and original heart of Cusco<\/a>, declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity<\/strong> in 1983 by UNESCO<\/a> for being \u201ca representative example of the meeting of two distinct cultures: Inca and Spanish\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it wasn\u2019t exactly a tragedy either. The plan involved heading to one of the favourite destinations<\/strong> of travellers and tourists who visit Peru. So any sadness about leaving the city founded in mythical times<\/strong> by Manco C\u00e1pac and Mama Ocllo wouldn\u2019t last long. Quite the opposite \u2014 it would vanish as soon as I boarded the bus or van taking me to the Sacred Valley of the Incas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second stage involved finding a simple and welcoming place<\/strong> to stay the night. The next day I would wake up early \u2014 and, as the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm \u2014 ready to fully explore the Andean landscape<\/strong> and the architectural heritage of the \u201cChildren of the Sun\u201d. I would also enjoy the traditions of Pisac, the town and archaeological site<\/strong> I planned to visit entirely at my own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, those were my ultimate goals: to explore the terraces, temples, houses, pathways, and aqueducts of one of the most impressive monuments of pre-Hispanic Peru<\/strong>; and, while I was there, to wander through the colourful and varied Pisac market<\/strong>. A hands-on experience where the streets become the stage for lively exchanges of agricultural <\/strong>and artisanal products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cusco, the starting point<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye to the Plaza de Armas, to the Qoricancha or Temple of the Sun, to the Twelve-Angle Stone, to the artisan quarter of San Blas<\/a>, and to the colonial churches built upon Inca walls. It\u2019s time to set off. Time to leave the vibrant streets of Cusco behind<\/strong> \u2014 its restaurants bursting with flavour<\/a>, its bars, pubs and clubs that keep cosmopolitan travellers awake long into the night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left with the promise of returning<\/strong>. It\u2019s my habit \u2014 I always do when I depart from what was once the \u201cNavel of the World\u201d in the Andean universe (3,400 metres above sea level). My destination is the district of Pisac<\/strong> (Calca province) in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, shaped by the waters of the Vilcanota\u2013Urubamba River<\/strong>. Its splendid geography and cultural legacy make it an unmissable destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest, quickest and most comfortable way to discover the valley\u2019s towns is to hire the services of a local operator<\/strong>. Full-day excursions include itinerary stops in Pisac, the \u201cTown of Terraces\u201d, Ollantaytambo, the \u201cLiving Inca City\u201d, and Chinchero, the \u201cLand of the Rainbow\u201d, celebrated for its textile art. The tours include a buffet lunch<\/strong> and a professional guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An excellent option if you\u2019re short on time<\/strong> or prefer to free yourself from the responsibility of organising every step of your trip. But if that\u2019s not your situation, then follow the plan I\u2019m sharing with you. It will allow you to start discovering the Sacred Valley on your own<\/strong>. With that explained, I grab my backpack and head to Puputi Street<\/strong>, located about 25 minutes on foot or 15 minutes by car from Cusco\u2019s Historic Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, buses and vans set off towards Pisac<\/strong> (Distance: 33 km \/ Time: roughly 1 hour). The fare ranges between 10 and 15 soles (3 to 5 US dollars). I recommend taking a seat on the left-hand side of the vehicle so you can enjoy the views of the valley along the way. Once in the town, you\u2019ll find plenty of restaurants and hotels. You\u2019ll also catch your first glimpses of the pre-Hispanic terraces<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day in Pisac<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pisac: Andean visions, Inca past<\/strong>. It was Pachacutec<\/a>, the ninth \u201cChild of the Sun\u201d and the \u201cTransformer of the World\u201d, who ordered its construction in the 15th century<\/strong>. Agricultural, religious, military and astronomical purposes justified this majestic complex on the summit of a mountain. On its slopes, pre-Hispanic engineers \u201csculpted\u201d striking terraces<\/strong> that continue to amaze everyone who sees them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pisac<\/a>: uncertainty and chaos. In 1532, the Spaniards invaded the Inca llaqta (city)<\/strong>. Destruction and plunder. They were searching for riches \u2014 they wanted gold and silver. The Quechua people couldn\u2019t understand what was happening. Their world was ending<\/strong>. Their society collapsing. They fled, abandoned the stone compounds, and took refuge on the lower slopes of the mountain. That is where they stayed \u2014 and where the colonial town would later emerge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pisac: an early start at 2,972 metres above sea level<\/strong>. Time to check whether I\u2019ve packed my Full Tourist Ticket or Partial <\/a>Ticket III (important: if you don\u2019t have it, buy it before entering). A dilemma arises: should I take a taxi to the main entrance of the archaeological park, or walk along Intihuatana Street<\/strong> (which borders Constituci\u00f3n Square \u2014 the urban heart of the district) to the checkpoint and entry gate (distance: 400 metres)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decide against any motorised help: I\u2019ll get there under my own steam<\/strong>. It doesn\u2019t matter how long it takes. I won\u2019t let tiredness defeat me, nor the 3,300 metres above sea level I\u2019ll be climbing to<\/strong>. I move forward. The path rewards me with fantastic views<\/strong> of the terraces, the urban layout, and the winding river below. The trail brings me closer to stone watchtowers, to the five neighbourhoods of the llaqta, and even to a tunnel carved through the mountain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My destination takes me by surprise \u2014 its stunning landscapes, its splendid architecture, its plazas, temples and palaces, and its Intihuatana (\u201cwhere the sun is tied\u201d in English)<\/strong>, which served as an astronomical observatory in Inca times. The fineness of its carved stone walls<\/strong> aligns perfectly with the rising sun during the June solstice \u2014 the arrival of winter in the Andes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go on, treat yourself, my friend!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hadn\u2019t heard that. I would only read it later in the Tourism Resources Inventory of the Ministry of Foreign<\/a> Trade and Tourism (Mincetur). Remember, my plan was to observe without receiving explanations <\/strong>or worrying about the passing of time. I wanted to fully enjoy the fleeting, momentary advantage<\/strong> of being at the archaeological park long before the tourist buses arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early bird catches the worm, I recalled at that moment. The same thing happened to me while exploring the local market of Pisac<\/strong>. Although fresh produce and beautiful handicrafts are sold every day, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are special market days<\/strong>. On those days, there\u2019s more colour and movement:<\/strong> more sellers and buyers, more voices bargaining in Quechua<\/strong>, in Spanish and in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pisac on market and fair days.<\/strong> Streets overflowing. The main square surrounded by vendors who come down from the highlands, who arrive from the valley communities, who cross the mountain range from the rainforest<\/strong> to buy, sell and exchange native potatoes, giant corn, coca leaves, medicinal herbs<\/strong> that cure all ailments, and many other products gifted by the generous Mamapacha (Mother Earth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The range of products is broad and varied. A little bit of everything in one corner of the Sacred Valley. From natural dyes to clay pots. From spondylus <\/a>shells \u2014 the pututus<\/a> once blown by the chasquis to announce their arrival<\/strong> \u2014 to mobile phone SIM cards. The old and the new together in a different kind of market: lively, local<\/strong>\u2026 and yes, also touristy. I wander through it at my own pace, eyes and ears wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, among stalls selling vegetables, tubers and everyday essentials, among ponchos, blankets, sculptures, jewellery and a wonderful variety of inspired handicrafts<\/strong>, my travel plan in Pisac came to an end. A solo adventure that I invite you to repeat<\/strong> in this ancient town or in any other community or district of Inca and Hispanic Cusco \u2014 a destination where there is always something to discover<\/strong>, without rush or pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
