Then we go to the last place to visit Pisaq, this is another Inca city where we will find gigantic agricultural terraces made from the top to the slopes of the mountain, water sources for ceremonial purposes and various Inca constructions.
Upon return to Cusco (7:00 p.m. approx.), we will drop you off one street from the Plaza de Armas, this because at this moment we have enough traffic to take you back to your hotel.
