Pisac was a hidden gem discovered through a recommendation from a friend. Of all the places in Peru, this was definitely my favourite. Buried in the valley of the Andes, the sacred valley is a very special place. Getting to Pisac is very easy from Cusco, you can either get a collectivo (1 hour) or an uber (20 minutes).
Wolf Totem Guesthouse was the name of the hostel that I stayed in and it was definitely the best hostel in Peru by far. The owner has done a fantastic job of building a hostel all with sustainable materials. The location is fantastic and the views of the rolling hills are beautiful. Some other perks of the hostel include double beds and a sauna! It has such a relaxing feel to the place and you could easily spend a whole day relaxing in the hostel itself.
The town of Pisac is a cute little hippy town with so many cute restaurants and cafes. There are so many vegetarian restaurants which I was super happy about. I would spend one afternoon at Jardin El Encanto a beautiful cafe overlooking the gardens. A great place for cakes and coffee is the ‘Bon Appetit cafe Paris’.
Another pleasant way to spend an afternoon is to walk by the river and admire the fresh water flowing past. This is a really good spot to meditate if you’re into that! There is also a market where you can buy more alpaca and fresh fruit and vegetables. The main attraction in Pisac is to visit the ruins, Wolf Totem is en route to the ruins and you can walk there, it takes approximately 2 hours.
I had originally booked 2 nights here but ended up staying 4 nights, Pisac is the perfect place to relax, reflect and feel connected to nature.
