SACRED VALLEY

An excursion to the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River (also called Vilcanota) is a must. Here the whealthiest Inca families had their country estates, a first experiment with private property in the Inca Empire. Although the circuit, wich had excellent highways to most sites, can easily be made in one day, this does not leave much time for ligering, for seeing some of the archaeological sites which are away from the roads, or simply for taking in the view. The town of Urubamba offers several hotels and restaurants which allow the more inquisitive visitor to reside in the area without daily trips back to Cusco.
You visit: Pisac ruins & market, Ollantaytambo ruins & town and Chinchero.
