Useful Information
Pisac Market
Explore the market and maybe barter for a few items yourself before heading out of town to an even smaller community. Along the way, take in the spectacular landscape of the region. Communities are still living in a very traditional way, cultivating wheat, potatoes, corn, beans and quinoa as a means of survical. The region is home to 3000 varieties of potatoes and is essential to the Andean cuisine. Depending on the season and the activity on that day, you could be harvesting the fields, fishing, cooking, playing football, painting houses or schools, building roofs or teaching kids. There is always something to do to help the community.
The activity will probably be interrupted by local people that will be offering you to join them for a meal. It will then be time to thank your host and visit the near by Ollantaytambo archaeological site for an insight into the past. We then make our way back to Cusco through more incredible landscape, land of stories and anecdotes that your local guide will share with you.

Bobbie was a great tour guide. I was the only person on the tour. We only had time for the Ollantaytambosite due to traffic on a Sunday. Had a three course lunch with a private family, watched chocolate being made and visited the market in Pisac. Bobbie was my guide and so knowledgeable. A great tour and plenty of time for pictures and pitstops en route. Britt
