Experience Blog #3: The Stars are Upside Down (or maybe right side up)

Posted by: Grace Baker

In the past week or so, I have now traveled from Cusco to Pisac. To be completely honest, I have been missing the liveliness of Cusco… but being surrounded by the magnificence of the mountains, trees, and landscape has left more quiet time for reflection. Last week, I visited Sacsayhuamán an additional time after our […] read full post >>

FASHION

Posted by: Gabrielmcameron

Fashion speaks. Only a fool doesn’t judge by appearances. Particularly in Pisac, clothed statements are abundant. What can we tell about the average Pisac tourist from the type of clothing that is commonly worn? There’s a few different schools of thought here, and I would suggest that Pisac tourists stay far away from minimalism. Symbolism […] read full post >>

Ribs and other emotions

Posted by: Orla

I am a Lorde girl at heart. And in my head too I guess because she plays constantly as the soundtrack for this trip at all times. All my favourite moments relate to a Lorde song. Lorde is for the people who feel bittersweet about experiencing a great moment because they already feel loss knowing it will end. read full post >>

Journey to Moray

Posted by: benc331

Yesterday we went on a full-day journey from Pisac, to Chinchero, to Moray, to the Maras salt mines. This journey was far longer than any of us expected, I suspect it was far longer than our drivers expected as well, bless their souls (rest assured they were tipped well). I went into this whole thing blind, in the sense that I did not look into any of these sites in any real detail. I more or less learned what each site was when I arrived. Moray was the most fascinating...read more read full post >>

Punk Indigenism

Yesterday I broke a chair. I’m not particularly proud of the fact, but I’m also sorry / not sorry. If by any chance the owners of Sapos pizza bar are reading this, then I will indeed pay for the damage. … Continue reading read full post >>

9. Visiting Chinchero, Moray, and Las Salinas De Maras

Posted by: niki afsharpour

Yesterday we visited three sites – each one was so beautiful, as well as the spaces in between them. We left the hotel at almost noon and drove to Chinchero, Moray, and lastly, we went to Las Salinas De Maras as the sun set over the salt mines. I was in awe of not just […] read full post >>

(experience blog 3)

Posted by: lotte

Pisac is such a cute little place. It is a lot quieter than Cusco and has more of a laid back presence where Cusco seemed busier with more people and more events happening. In Pisac the restaurants close at 8:30 or earlier and everything quiets down. In Cusco most places are open to 11 or […] read full post >>

Experience Blog 3: Pisac, Ruins and Value

Posted by: zyasmin

Hello everyone, I can’t believe that this is already my third experience blog, this time from Pisac! It’s incredible how quickly this trip has been going by. Unfortunately, my memory does not always serve me well, but I’ll do my best to sum up the days I can remember. Thursday was the day we left […] read full post >>
