[1] The town of San Pedro de Casta is known for its proximity to Marcahuasi, and receives the majority of its attention from this tourist attraction.

Nevertheless, over the 20th century the town has attracted significant academic interest, largely due to its traditional annual week-long canal-cleaning ritual carried out every October.

In San Pedro de Casta there is one hotel and three restaurants off of the main square where tourists can stay and buy meals.

A few guides and horse owners live near the main square and, if asked, will accommodate travelers' schedules for a reasonable price.

San Pedro de Casta is a worthwhile destination for travelers who love popular festivities, although one must know the dates of these events.
