This archaeological site includes a series of superimposed terraces, showing the impressive and large blocks of finely carved stone located on the upper terrace and as the last point we will visit the city of Pisac. This impressive place will give you an idea of ​​the advanced knowledge that they achieved the Incas in architecture.
