At the easternmost tip of the Holy Valley lies the bustling colonial town of Pisac. Renowned for its vibrant market, the town sees Indigenous Quechua communities from the surrounding highlands arrive in masse on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays to sell their wares. A large section of the market is dedicated to tourist-oriented stalls where weavings, jewellery, ponchos, hats, Andean instruments, ceramics, alpaca products and a whole range of other gifts and souvenirs are sold. The town is home to approximately 4000 locals occupying a fascinating assortment of colourful colonial and modern stucco or adobe buildings. Alongside its bustling markets and historic architecture, Pisac hosts many spiritual retreats. The primary tourist attraction is the acclaimed Pisac Ruins, known famously for being one of the best preserved Inca archaeological sites in Peru. Perched atop a peak overlooking the town, the ruins make for an excellent morning of sightseeing with stunning views of the surrounding Andes mountains.
