Etched into the mountainside just behind the Pisac village, ancient Incan ruins reveal themselves as stone buildings and towers rise out of the steep slopes. The ascent is treacherous as tight pathways wind around rocky edges. Just beyond the Incan archaeological ruins the trail leads to an even more mysterious, technologically advanced site known as Intihuatana, house of the sun. If the weather is clear, shooting with warm sunset lighting can really bring the stones to life. Be sure to plan enough time for a strong hike in order to capture the beauty of this magical place.

Although not the quietest, nor the busiest village in the sacred valley, Pisac is unique, not only geographically as a crossroads for people, cargo and business, but also as a symbol of a world that is becoming smaller and smaller. With so many wonderful things to shoot in such a small area, Pisac is a worthy consideration for any photographic adventure to Peru.
