Pisac Inn is small and charming, full of enchanting details that honor Quechua tradition. A relaxed atmosphere and warm hospitality celebrates the continuity and vitality of this ancient living culture.

We have recently renovated PISAC INN with our new restaurant Cuchara de Palo. We have changed our name from HOTEL PISAQ to PISAC INN.
We apologize for discrepancies of pricing in guide books or on websites that have our hotel listed but may not have our updated information. 
The prices are stated here on our website.

The 12 rooms enclose an enchanting patio area replete with local flowers, butterflies and majestic views. This haven provides you a space of tranquility, while stepping out on the sidewalk café offers you the quiet excitement of a small Andean town. Each morning on the plaza of Pisac the renowned market comes to life. You can enjoy the magical landscape while immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, tastes and arts of the market at your leisure.
We have a lovely front restaurant area with a small bar. An upstairs balcony overlooks the plaza, ideal for absorbing small town life from a quiet distance, giving one space to reflect and take note on a more personal level while remaining connected to the outside activity. The rooms and baths are small and pleasant, accommodating to ones needs without excess. The Inn also offers guests the opportunity to indulge in natural rock heated saunas and herbal massages during their stay.

The murals, decorations and renovations have been crafted by Roman and Fielding as a continual process over the 14 years they have had the Inn. They have painted and designed each detail together in honor of the inspirational local culture. It is an adobe building, with an older structure on the plaza, and a later addition in the patio area.

Pisac Inn, owned by the Vizcarra family – has the vision of celebrating the warmth and beauty of this ancient living culture of the Andes.

Coco and Roman Vizcarra, brothers from Peru, traveled and lived in Europe for many years, always knowing they would return to their land, Peru. Together with their wives, Barbara from Germany and Fielding  from the United States they opened the hotel in 1993. Along with their lovely staff they welcome you to the Sacred Valley of the Incas –  in the quaint town of Pisac and to their authentic Inn & Restaurant which honors Andean color and traditions.

Born in Peru, Roman has traveled worldwide teaching about the Quechua people. He loves to share an intimate knowledge of his people’s traditions and belief systems: their music, dance, art, food and customs. A professional guide, Roman speaks fluent Spanish, English, German and Italian. He studied Agronomy and then traveled and lived in Europe for 12 years, studying painting, playing traditional Andean music – and meeting his future wife. Roman and Fielding settled in Peru in 1993, married and started their family. Having married an American, Roman has also lived in the US for several years and returns regularly for family visits and for intertribal exchange work. Together they established Pisac Inn, built their home in Taray and began PERU Cultural Journeys.
They have dedicated the past 14 years to cultural and social work with local people, including the establishment of four Andean Cultural Centers with the vision of providing the space to practice and celebrate local traditions. ” We are very active promoting the Andean culture on a grassroots level. The idea is to inspire others and have cultural centers emerge like wildfire, and in so encourage a resurgence of the practice of local belief systems by the Quechua people.”

Roman has lived in and traveled to many areas of his country, gathering a wealth of traditional knowledge to share with others. He continues to this day to work towards his life vision: the recuperation and reevaluation of his culture. He maintains a deep respect and passion for the traditional Quechua people and a calling to promote their human rights as equals. His focus is to remind the world that traditional belief systems are valid and that Andean cosmology and practices are a valuable part of universal wealth.

Fielding is originally from Lexington, Kentucky, and moved to Taos N.M. at age 11. She went to the Madeira High School, and then on to the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she received a BFA in fine arts. She spent her junior year abroad, studying painting at Bellas Artes in Venice, Italy. Roman was living in Italy at the time, and since their first encounter in Venice life was never the same for either.
“I remember the first moment we met, Roman said that when he settles down and has his family he wants to be in his land, and raise his children in his traditions and customs. I thought that was beautiful and so important. I never imagined I would be the one joining him.”
She was indeed the one to join him. Fielding has embraced her new life in the Andes with love and gusto, embarking upon numerous cultural projects, cultivating a business and most importantly raising three children Suni, T’ika and Katari.
“We have lived in Peru for 14 years and have created a very wonderful life here. This culture celebrates family. For raising children it is ideal; here children are a focal point of joy. It is easier here to live a simple, healthy life, not bombarded with so many unnecessary distractions. This allows for a higher quality of life in the truest sense.”

Roman and Fielding are dedicated to promoting cultural projects and a new elementary school.  They are also expanding the authentic trips they host.  Though Fielding and Roman do not run the hotel, they graciously direct the staff and give attention to the details.

staff

The staff at Pisac Inn is very attentive and personable, allowing one to feel at home.

Most of them speak basic English, and enjoy engaging in conversation and cultivating friendships. The charming local combined with the personable staff and ideal location allows each traveler to feel safe and comfortable while connected to the culture at hand, rather than an isolated observer.
