Sacred Valley of the Incas was the counterpart of the Milky Way so Incas were able to set their construction or setlements following the patterns of the Milky Way: it means Incas saw in it black clouds a Snake, Puma, Condor, llama, alligator, shepherd, partridge, toad, etc; so along this valley one can see the setlements’ outlines in the shape of these constellation. Cusco has the outline of Puma, Ollantaytambo of a llama and even Machupicchu the outline of Alligator.

08:30: Cusco to Pisaq Ruins (the proper name of Pisaq is P’isaqa which means partridge) It’s located at 36 km of Cusco to explore in it colosall terraces for agriculture, these terraces are not in using anymore because they have been expropriated by the government; It’s also really nice to see the largest inca cementery, incan residences located on top of the mountains which were a kind of Pucara or redoubt. Pisaq Market located at the botton of the ruins is not a tipical market anymore, 10 years ago it used to be but nowadays more than tipical is a commercial markets. Urubamba town, located one hour down of Pisaq Market, is a especial place to have the lunch, there are crew of customers who are just coming to enjoy the Andean Gourmet. Ollantaytambo ruins, located half an hour down from Urubamba, is really awesome cause it’s been designed in the shape of a llama; It’s the sole place to talk about the Incan Architecture, the techniques to move the giant boulder from quarry to there, the techniques to template or match these boulders on the walls, the techniques to split the giant boulders form the main mass and so on. And the last ruins and incan town as well is Chincheros; it was the private residence of Tupac Inca Yupanqui the son of Pachacuted who was the greatest incan ruler. After this is to Cusco, it’s almost the full day.
