Pisac Archaeological Site
Pisac is a town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is situated on the Vilcanota River. Pisac is most known for its Incan ruins and large market which attracts heavy tourist traffic from nearby Cusco.
When the Inca Empire conquered the area they constructed a large complex on a mountain ridge overlooking where the current town is now located. The consensus is that it was constructed by the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1471/1472) no earlier than 1440. The consensus among many scholars is that Pachacuti constructed it as multi-purpose residence, citadel, observatory and religious site. In this role it would support his panaca (family and descendants), provide a secluded royal retreat located well away from Cusco where he and the nobility could relax between military campaigns, undertake ritual and religious ceremonies, serve as a refuge in times of danger as well as commemorating his victories over the Cuyos
Pisak arheoloska lokacija
Pisak je grad u Svetoj dolini Inka. Nalazi se na reci Vilcanota. Pisac je najpoznatiji po svojim ruševinama Inka i velikom marketu koji privlači veliki broj turista iz obližnjeg Kuska.
Kada je carstvo Inka osvojilo područje, izgradili su veliki kompleks na planinskom grebenu sa pogledom na mesto gde se sada nalazi sadašnji grad. Konsenzus je da ga je izgradio car Inka Pachacuti (1438–1471/1472) ne ranije od 1440. godine. Konsenzus među mnogim naučnicima je da ga je Pachacuti izgradio kao visenamensku strukturu: kao rezidenciju, citadelu, opservatoriju i versko mesto. Izgradio ga je da bi podržao svoju panaku (porodicu i potomke) i obezbedio osamljeno kraljevsko utočište koje se nalazi daleko od Kuska gde bi se on i plemstvo mogli opustiti između vojnih kampanja, obavili ritualne i verske ceremonije. Isto tako sluzio je i kao utočište u vremenima opasnosti, kao i obeležavanje njegovih pobeda nad Cuiosom

Nekadašnje kraljevsko imanje cara Inka Pachaćuta, koje se nalazi u Svetoj dolini Inka, Ollantaitamba je grad i arheološko nalazište Inka u južnom Peruu, oko 72 km putem, severozapadno od grada Kuska.

U vreme španskog osvajanja Perua, služio je kao uporište za Manco Inca Iupanci, vođu otpora Inka.
Ovde se mogu videti arhitektonske sposobnosti Inka i hidroinženjerskih čuda, kao što su kamene fontane i poljoprivredne terase dizajnirane da stvore različite mikroklime za uzgoj usjeva.
