Pisac is about a one hour drive from the center of Cusco, PE. Well, possibly only 40 minutes if your driver knows the roads with his eyes closed. The roads to Pisac are windy, but the views are spectacular.

The trek did not only feature mountainous views. We saw a variety of animals grazing, plants growing, and water rushing by as at almost every minute.
