The Sacred Valley of the Inca Civilization is a magical destination with perhaps some of the most well-preserved archaeological ruins in all of Peru, nestled in the Vilcanota River Valley with picturesque terraces for the cultivation of native crops. This naturally beautiful countryside is filled with a wealth of colourful indigenous cultures that have been fused with the influences of the Spanish conquest and modern day Peru over time.

With an ideal climate and millions of opportunities to take amazing photos, this is a day trip from Cuzco that you cannot miss! Pass through the villages of Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero to see ancient Inca archaeological sites and visit indigenous marketplaces with high quality alpaca wool products and handicrafts.
