Pisac pueblo is well know for its sunday market, one of the biggest, certainly the most famous, artesanía markets in all of South America, colorful and full of live.
Pisac ruins is located at the top of the mountainside featuring a small Inca village with temples, looks pretty similar to Machu Picchu, a bit smaller but it has impressive agricultural terraces and a strategic position overlooking Urubamba river.
The name Pisac comes from the Quechua voice "pisaq", which means partridge (a gallinacean type that abounds in this area).
