Pisac Travel Blogs

We woke up to the church bells at 6 am but I stayed snuggled under the heavy blankets until 6:30.  As Amanda put it, the blankets were so heavy it felt like you were getting x-rays taken.  We sat out front watching the market come to life.  Booths were set up and tarps lashed on top …

The train ticket to Machu Pichu I arranged yesterday at a nice booking office. I also booked a tour to Pisac in the sacred valley and to the fortress of Ollantaytambo where I would stay for one night, catch the train there and travel to Agua Callientes. But first I'm going to visit the sa…

So we started our day at the crack of no dawn to catch our flight to Cuzco.  We were greeted in Cuzco by Cristina to get us to our hotel, the Arqueologo.  We originally had the day to ourselves but decided last minute to book a private tour of Pisac.Mary, our tour guide, and Jose Luis, ou…

     They Sacred Valley was our destination today, with stops at the market in Pisac, and the ruins at Ollantaytambo.  Our itinerary began with a visit to an alpaca farm.  They also housed llamas and vicunas and schooled us in the differences.  Interesting creatur…

I took a trip round the world when i finished my studies. Looks like the bug that bit was there to stay.

Today Pisac is a picturesque village, typical except for the huge tree that dominates the central square. The village is best known for its Sunday market, which draws hundreds of tourists each week. In spite of its popularity the market still retains some of its local charm, at least in the part wh…

Unmatched beauty, unparalleled visions ... Peru left me without words ... well, maybe I found a few.

I couldn't have imagined how beautiful a country could be until I saw it for my own eyes. The land is dramatic with colors, terrain, snow filled mountain tops to lush farm lands. Most think of Machu Picchu as being Peru but there is much more.

Welcome to our blog. The plan is to travel round the world in eight months. We'll be starting from New York and seeing some more of North America before continuing to Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand before finishing in Cambodia and coming home for Christmas. We'll do our best to keep it as up-to-date as possible as we go. Bye for now!
