Sacred Valley is a highlight on most multi-centre holidays to Peru thanks to its charming communities and stunning scenery.
The Sacred Valley lies just 15 kilometres north of Cuzco, following the twisting Urubamba River on its course through hairpin bends and traditional villages dotted between the former Inca capital and Machu Picchu.
The region is a highlight on most multi-centre holidays to Peru thanks to its charming communities and stunning scenery. The valley also boasts a concentration of Inca sites including Ollantaytambo, whose narrow cobblestone streets have survived pavement-pounding and continuous inhabitation since the 13th century, and Pisac, a magnet for spirit-seekers.
