Pisac
Market
![]() Písac is a Peruvian village in the Sacred
Valley on the Urubamba
River. The village is well-known for its market
every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, an event which attracts heavy tourist traffic from nearby Cusco. One of its more notable features is a large pisonay tree
which dominates the central plaza. The sanctuary of Huanca, home to a sacred
shrine, is also near the village. Pilgrims travel to the shrine every
September.
