Taray

The road from Cusco leads directly to the town of Taray. The Pisac market beckons a few kilometers down the road, but Taray makes a worthwhile pre-Pisac shopping stop. Devastating flooding in March 2010 destroyed nearly 80% of the town's homes. At this writing rebuilding is still underway, with some residents residing in makeshift tents. However, a herculean effort has been made to get the town's main infrastructure up and running at full steam again.
