Pisac After getting bored of Cusco we decided to read the guide book again and realised that there is a lovely place to visit out at the start of the Sacred valley to the north. Pisac is renowned for its market and Inca ruins. We headed out on thurday to catch one of the bigger market days, sunday being the largest and arrived just a few hours later for the princley sum of 2S/ each. After we had checked into Hostal Beho (see photos) and had mistaken the gall...
