Pisac – Visit to the Sacred Valley of the Incas
Our first Sunday in Cuzco, taking advantage of not having classes and other various activities, we got ready to explore the surronding area and went to Pisac, a village in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 40 minutes away from Cuzco. Pisaq is famous for its colourful Sunday market and for the ruins of the old Inca Pisaq village. The ascend to the ruins helped us to test our lung capacity and to train for the excursion to Pachu Picchu, planned for the end of our stay in Cuzco. Luckily, we managed to avoid the soroche, or altitude sickness, and we managed to enjoy the immense mountains, 
the incredible views and the delicious "empanadillas”. The trip back to Cuzco, in a bus completely full, standing and packed like sardines, reminded us why are we so happy to have some weeks of peace and quiet in Cuzco!
