Ancient Ruins of Pisac

BY Tierney Farrell
On our way to Ollantaytambo, we made another stop at at the ancient ruins of Pisac in the Sacred Valley.  I didn't realize that there were so many other ancient Incan sites in Peru that had the same structure and character of Machu Picchu. After spending about an hour here, we went to this amazing little restaurant, called Parwa, in the middle of nowhere by a river in the Andes mountains.  The restaurant was like a greenhouse; all the walls were glass and it had a huge opening so it felt like it was outside. The food was prepared at an outdoor wood-burning fire, and delivered by traditionally dressed women, and served family style.  There were a few alpaca calmly roaming and grazing around the property, as well as a spotted pig who got loose and ran out of the gate, haha.  When we were eating, a thunderstorm passed over and the rains pounded down, soaking the poor alpacas outside. The food was unbelievably delicious -- I could not stop eating. pisac-0297pisac-0263 pisac-0265 pisac-0268pisac-0277 pisac-0280 pisac-0286 pisac-0287 pisac-0296 pisac-0298 pisac-0310 pisac-0311 pisac-0312 pisac-0314 pisac-0316 pisac-0325 pisac-0327 pisac-0329 pisac-0330 pisac-0331 Tags:
