Pisac Ruins

Before we headed out to Cusco, we decided to hike the Pisac ruins. I've read through a ton of travel blogs and books that recommend this place as good practice before the actual Machu Picchu trek and a good way to acclimate. It was a lot more strenuous than we thought. It ended up being 4 hours long, hot as hell and we got lost (they said there's only one way down and it's easy to find, but that's a total lie). Luckily, we found our way out and back to town. The Pisac ruins were absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend visiting it if you're ever on your way to Cusco.
