Reaching the top of the fortress will literally take your breath away, and its location allows for impressive views down the length of the valley. While you&#8217;re there, you can visit the nearby ancient Inca temple that was built from huge stone pieces and features ancient symbols carved into the stone walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Pisac<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pisac is a small town that boasts a colourful market along with narrow cobbled streets. Nearby are the Ruins of Pisac; a huge Inca citadel that boasts incredible views of the Urubamba Valley. It\u2019s famous for the spectacular terracing which curves around the hill and at the top, you will see preserved temples, baths and the ceremonial centre.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10189\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10189\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10189 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-589166045-min.jpg\" alt=\"best Inca ruins in and around Cusco\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-589166045-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-589166045-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-589166045-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-589166045-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pisac<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>4.

It is more remote than Ollantaytambo and Pisac so receive fewer visitors than it\u2019s popular neighbours. The ruins feature a circular terrace, shaped like a bowl which you are free to climb. It is believed that this was once used as an agricultural research base for the Incas used to experiment with crop growing.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Sacsayhuaman<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Cusco, you can easily walk to Sacsayhuaman. Translated to Royal Eagle, this is another jaw-dropping fortress temple and one of the largest structures built by the Incas. It offers incredible views of the city and is near the Cristo Blanco statue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sacsayhuaman is the final site of the Inti Raymi parade which happens every year. Dressed in full Inca costume, the Inca perform a prayer to the Sun God before sacrificing a llama. The festivities are ticketed but many locals choose to watch from two hills overlooking the site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10218 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_241471702-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"438\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_241471702-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_241471702-min-900x365.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_241471702-min-1024x415.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/438;\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10192\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10192\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10192 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-636526080-min.jpg\" alt=\"best Inca ruins in and around Cusco\" width=\"1080\" height=\"723\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-636526080-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-636526080-min-900x603.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-636526080-min-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GettyImages-636526080-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/723;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sacsayhuaman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>6.
