Across from the fort, a hill is covered with funeral niches, their window-like openings carved out of the rock. The ruins and the town nearby derive their name from Pisaka, a species of partridge that was abundant in the region; it&#8217;s also related to the name of Cristobal Pisaq Topa, who was one of the people who helped to create the famous history of the Incas that was written by the Spanish Viceroy Toledo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Location Access<\/p>\n<p>Province: Calca<br \/>\nDistrict: Pisac<br \/>\nLocal Reference: N\/A<br \/>\nDistance: 0 kilometers from the town of Pisac \/ 32 kilometers from Cusco to the complex<br \/>\nTime: 20 minutes by car \/ one hour from Cusco by car<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Site Details<\/p>\n<p>Entrance Fee: Requires Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turistico)<br \/>\nForeigners S\/.130<br \/>\nForeign students &amp; local adults S\/.70<br \/>\nLocal Students S\/.40<br \/>\nOpening Hours: Monday to Sunday 7:00 \u2014 18:00<br \/>\nMuseum &amp; Other Services: N\/A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The park is formed around an Inca mountaintop citadel.
