Itinerary and highlights
Some constructions, distributed along Písac Pueblo Viejo or Písac Arqueológico are:
The wall:
The wall does not have the conception we know today. Formerly it responded to a continuous building that was not necessary for the whole city. Some of its stones have amazing dimensions. It brings together five doors, located in the eastern part of the complex. The only one with lintel is called Amaru Punku, which means' Door of the Snakes.
