About this activity

A private taxi to Pisac takes between 5 and 6 hours and includes a vehicle with driver for a fixed rate, with stops at the Inca ruins and the town’s crafts market.

Pisac combines two experiences in one trip: an archaeological site with agricultural terraces still in use, and one of the most complete crafts markets in the Sacred Valley. The vehicle is private, so you decide how much time to spend at each stop.

With over a decade operating in Cusco and a 5.0/5.0 TripAdvisor rating (36 reviews), we coordinate your pickup from the airport, your hotel in Cusco, or the Ollantaytambo station.

Itinerary

01
Start

Pisac Ruins

The Pisac ruins are 33 km from Cusco, with Inca agricultural terraces carved into the mountain and panoramic views of the Urubamba river valley. The complex includes a ceremonial sector with a sundial (intihuatana) and remains of what was once one of the largest known Inca cemeteries.

02
Stop 01

Pisac Market

Pisac's market, in the town square, brings together artisans from nearby communities selling hand-woven Andean textiles, pottery, and silver jewelry. It's liveliest on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, though stalls are open every day.

03
End

Cusco (or Ollantaytambo upon request)

Return to the agreed point in Cusco by private vehicle, or we continue toward the rest of the Sacred Valley if your itinerary requires it — coordinate the route with us when booking.
