Located around thirty kilometres from Cuzco, Pisac is one of Peru's must-see archaeological sites. This Inca complex is notable for the agricultural terraces that wind around the sides of the mountains, providing an impressive and functional backdrop. Once used to grow maize and other sacred plants, these terraces bear witness to the Incas' deep connection with the land.
