Pisac is a small village about 40 minutes from the city of Cusco. It is nestled in the Sacred Valley of the Incas on the Urubamba river (shown in this picture), which runs north towards Machu Picchu and eventually ends in the Amazon jungle, becoming one of the main tributaries of the Amazon river. Cusco was chosen by the Incas as the center of their empire, the navel of the world, and it is easy to understand their choice as this area enjoys the emergence of the energies of the jungle nearby as well as the energies of powerful mountains all around. The Sacred Valley, with Machu Picchu as its main center, is to this day a place of spiritual pilgrimage and healing for people from all over the world. The refined energies of the mountains and the particularly nurturing vibration of this land make it an ideal place for personal awakening and healing. Pisac is famous not only for its Sunday market but also for its Inca ruins and growing spiritual community.
