Sacred Valley Tours, Vacations, Travel Packages & Experiences
Also known as the Urubamba Valley, Peru’s Sacred Valley is located near Cusco in the valley below the legendary Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. The area encompasses everything between Calca and Lamay, Písac and Ollantaytambo which can all be visited on a Peru vacation.
Formed by the Urubamba River, the fertile valley proved to be an important agricultural centre for the Incas. They believed that the river’s flow was linked to the constellations and was the Milky Way’s counterpart on earth. The Incas built many great estates, temples and palaces throughout the region, the ruins of which have become popular on Peru tours with tourists around the world. It was given the name Sacred Valley because it contained some of the best land available and was the property of the Incan Emperor.
Today the Sacred Valley continues to be the breadbasket of the country while hosting many major attractions including Cusco, Aguas Calientes, Ollantaytambo, Písac, Yucay and more. The many ruins that dot the landscape are some of the best in the country with the most famous being Machu Picchu. The scenery in the valley and surrounding it is stunning and many of the cities and villages are beautiful. Despite being a popular tourist destination, the Sacred Valley retains a great deal of old world charm and mystery that surrounds its various archaeological sites.
