Superb Hike Inca Ruins Pisac 🇵🇪

■ PERU, PISAC: Whilst no mountain filled with historical ruins I've ever encountered could rival the sheer aesthetic beauty of Machu Picchu, said site does come with two major drawbacks:
1. There will be thousands of other people there during YOUR visit which somewhat puts a dampener on your ability to enjoy the site
2. Huge parts of it are off bounds to tourists which puts a mega dampener on your ability to enjoy the Inca ruins.
At the Inca ruins of Pisac, which for the record encompasses a site which is 4 times larger than Macchu Picchu, you will not encounter any of these issues. I was the only one there for the first 2 hours of my hike.
But the main advantage of Pisac's Inca Ruins is that the hike itself is more scenic and interesting that any hike you can do on your day visit to Macchu Picchu.
Don't believe me? Well, let me hear what you think after having seen the superb hiking trails I traversed up this morning starting at 05:55 AM at Pisac central market.

The Inca’s really utilised the space they had well to farm....I wouldn’t imagine a lot of other countries farming up the mountains. Thanks to your videos we saw some in Viet and India.

I think same, also they construct their houses on the mountain, incredible, opposite than what We think.

Obviously built by two different civilizations. The older stone work has jointing on another level. The shaping of the stone is amazing. The newer Inca built masonry is still incredible, but it can't be denied that it was built at a later date. Great video Harald.

@@sharonstuebi8181 Wow! Thanks for the compliment Sharon

[@sharonstuebi8181]

@@misterxyz5958 lol. I appreciate the history, more than you know. Im very saddened that the world heritage site has forbidden then indiginous the continued right to farm the terraced lands. The land was in continuous use until a few years ago. The irrigation system still functions. It severely cut down the income and the food supply of the locals. I have immense respect for the history ,the soirit of the mountain, and the ancestors who have moved on. It is still a very sacred place. I wish that you could see the view from my farm and my patio. Its sooooooo awe inspiring and beautiful.

[@nicoleharris3871]

cbagle My good friend also has heart failure. I always have him watch these videos. I quit smoking cigarettes when I met him..... He made me promise to run out and grab life. Experience everything I can. Take advantage of my health. He’s been such a great influence in my life. And I hope I’ve helped him experience life in a way he may not have. His family left him alone 36 years old. Wife and kids all left him basically to die. I’ve tried to make sure I help him get out of his apartment and experience whatever he can while he can. God bless you on your struggle. Enjoy what you can hope n pray it’s alot

Amazing video love you

[@Dirtnap300]

the megalithic block construction at 17:00 is amazing.. 17:52 truly looks like a far more advanced group built the place then the Inca moved in after some catastrophe or abandonment. They did their best in trying to replicate the previous structures but did it crudely by comparison. And now i have to go to this place.. another check box on my bucket list.

[@PaulPaullus]

...the extent of the terracing revealed how the Inca population exceeded the agriculture food production capability of the lower land area...the Inca created terraced land area is many times greater than the naturally formed lower land area that fed the initial Inca population and the terraces were increased to higher levels with each successive generation out of necessity....the irrigation at the time must have been much more extensive and of wood construction ....there are 2 types of building craftsmanship: (1)-> the minimally crafted 'polygon' sided terrace walls and buildings which were for Inca agriculture laborers habitation (2)-> the highly crafted rectangular block walls are buildings for religious activity and government residences ...awesome video....don't have to go there now....got everything right here.....

[@prod.bynil-oh7440]

[@MandaLynn8]

The view behind you as you climbed the Inca steps was beautiful. Such an amazing illustration of cooperation to build something that massive and it's still there today. Great to see the irrigation system in action. Can you imagine being the ruler 600 years ago looking down on all of that? And the air has to be super thin. This has to be one of my favorite videos. Thanks for toughing it out. Awesome! Maybe you can do a video going shopping for more suitable shoes! Barundi!

21:02 a ruined Intihuatana, defiled by the Spanish. There were many Intihuatanas, some researchers say they pointed to other sacred sites. The Spanish defiled every one they could find. Of course, they didn't find the one at Machu Picchu. That was much later on September 8, 2000 while filming a commercial a boom struck the stone and chipped it. Since then, the authorities are very protective of it. In fact, they won't even let you touch it now.

[@selectra1979]

Be careful, being alone in places like this one. If you have an accident, no one is around.

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

That's why he should have used the main entrance. So they take note he entered the place. And can give you some vital information. If something happens they will notice and you don't find your bones at the bottom of a cliff 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's exactly what I was thinking the whole time. I'm scared of heights and there's no way I could do this.

[@larealidad6695]

I'm absolutely fascinated by these ruins and the unbelievable stone work made with presently unknown techniques.. There are some theories that the perfect large blocks are much, much more ancient in origin and the rougher work often seen on top of the older layers is more modern constructions and repairs.

[@larealidad6695]

Also the Inca were known to use clay mortar, but the precision megalithic work doesn't.

[@deshog999]

Wow...and I mean WOW...never heard of this place, let alone seen it on the TV. The mind boggles as to how the Incas built all those terraces and houses. You deserve a large beer on us.
