Pisaq, Peru

We woke up in the morning in Cusco and hired a taxista, Francisco, to drive us around the Sacred Valley and take us to our next destination, Ollyentaytambo. The politically opinionated Francisco drove us to many of the key sights in the sacred valley and also informed us of the centralist tenancies of the Peruvian government, very interesting. We went to the town of Pisaq and got our first taste of true Incan ruins. All of the Incan ruins in Peru were started, constructed and abandoned within 125 years, incredible! We had a beautiful day in Pisaq and spent time in the town at a local restaurant and a market. We stopped in a number of other small towns along the way and finally reached Ollyentaytambo in the late afternoon.
