Mercado de Písac
Con las dos atracciones antiguas y modernas, el encantador pueblo colonial de Písac se ha ganado realmente un lugar en el mapa. Se encuentra a 20 millas (32 km) al noreste de Cusco en el río Urubamba, Valle Sagrado. Está en la base de una montaña que alberga la espectacular fortaleza de Inca Písac.
More about Mercado de Písac
El pueblo que hoy conocemos como Písac fue construido por el virrey Toledo en la década de 1570, el Inca Písac original fue destruido por Francisco Pizarro y los conquistadores españoles a principios de los años 1530.
Muchos turistas son atraídos por el bullicio del mercado de Pisac, por el momento el más grande y más visitado en la región, un lugar donde el regateo se espera para adquirir las artesanías tradicionales y coloridas hechas a mano. El mercado se celebra oficialmente todos los martes, sin embargo, el jueves y domingo, se han vuelto tan populares que por lo general se llena toda la Plaza de Armas y las calles circundantes. Para evitar las multitudes, es mejor visitar los lunes, miércoles, viernes y sábados.
Mientras camina por el mercado, los visitantes podrán observar enormes hornos de barro en varios puntos, el más auténtico es uno de los hornos coloniales que data de la década de 1830. Los fogones se utilizan para hacer castillos en miniatura para los cuyes, así como para hacer empanadas, las cuales son un bocadillo ideal para seguir explorando puesto por puesto. Para aquellos que buscan un poco de paz y tranquilidad después del ajetreo y bullicio del mercado, una visita a los hermosos jardines botánicos locales sería ideal.
Los visitantes de Písac tienden a enamorarse de sus encantos soleados y lo encuentran como un punto de partida conveniente para las visitas en el Valle Sagrado.
Moments to look forward to
The Anywhere team was planning and helping us thru out the process. Right from picking us up from the airport to dropping us back to the hotel. They created a WhatsApp group to communicate with us every day and answered our questions within a few minutes. Thanks to Lisbeth and Jose in Cusco. Eduardo in Machu Pichu, Anna Maria in Puno and Sara and Samuel in Lima. They are worked like a team to ensure our trip was well planned and executed. Big thanks to Cesar for the great planning and suggestions along the way.
Sacred Valley Excursion
My sister and her family want to come next year, and possible another friend's family as well, so will definitely tell them to use Anywhere!!!
This was a very personal experience and Anywhere.com does an amazing job of having agents who are cultured and/or very familiar with the country to which you wish to visit. This allows the agent to listen to what you want to experience and then match you up with the right outfitter, vendor, excursion group, etc...I felt like Sara Nizama truly listened to my wants/needs and made them a reality. I am so happy with my Peru experience, thanks to Sara and her team. I want to go back soon and explore more of Peru with the help of Sara and her team. Thank you!
Excellent coordination and very helpful staff throughout the trip. Sara is the boss...she has good command of all aspects of our trip and provided the necessary help & support ...right from planning stage to boarding our flight back to US.
Very professional service, very good organization overall. Everything went smoothly. We ABSOLUTELY will recommend Anywhere.com to our friends. And for our future trips, we will first look at what anywhere.com is offering before looking elsewhere.
Itinerario de 13 Días de Viaje Épico en Familia por Perú
Peru is bursting with history, interesting sites and friendly people and tourists from all parts of the world. We wished our hotels were a bit better and should have requested upgrades for a reasonably higher price. We have already recommended Peru to family and friends. Our photos and videos on Facebook have evoked several inquiries. I would certainly like to visit Peru again along with other countries of South America.
