The Incas built several of the empire’s greatest estates, temples, and royal palaces between the sacred centers of Cusco and Machu Picchu positioned like great bookends at the south and north ends of the valley.

Through the valley rolls the revered Río Urubamba (called in Quechua Willcamayu by the Incas; today it is also called the Vilcanota in one section), a pivotal religious element of the Incas’ cosmology. The Incas believed not only that the flow of the Urubamba was inexorably tied to the constellations and the mountain peaks, but also that the river was the earthbound counterpart of the Milky Way. With the river as its source, the fertile valley was a major center of agricultural production for the Incas, who grew native Andean crops such as white corn, coca, potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables in expansive fields and along spectacularly terraced mountain slopes. The valley continues to serve as a breadbasket for Cusco, providing grains, potatoes, peaches, avocados, and much more–Sacred Valley Private Tours, Join us!

The popular part of Sacred Valley of the Incas is located between Pisac and Ollantaytambo, this part of the valley draws many visitors, a section where Chinchero, Maras salt ponds, Moray, and other Incan ruins are located. The name of Sacred Valley is not from the Incan times, it is part of modern Inca inspired myths, based on the special importance that this valley had in the ancient Incan days. There are the area’s various other breathtaking Inca ruins that might be internationally renowned in their own right where they not overshadowed by the tourism juggernaut of Machu Picchu. There are endless chances to explore its natural landscapes as well as the living and ancient cultures. You can do so by road or, preferably, on foot, mountain bike or horseback. The Valley’s smaller towns and villages also have a laid-back pace that makes them ideal for decompressing, whether it is getting massages, doing yoga, or simply chilling in a hammock.

Mountains were carved literally to build agricultural terracings, temples, cities, fortresses, they even channeled the Vilcanota river.

The last Inca emperors built-up cities with magnificent palaces as part of their royal estates, where they used to move from Cusco, used to meditate, and rejoice, on our Sacred Valley private tours you will have the chance to get the first-hand information from your private local guide who will lead into the lesser popular sides of each Inca site. For those making the once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the Incan citadel or any hike, the Sacred Valley makes a perfect base. Locals still speak Quechua — the language of the Incas. They also grow corn, raise alpacas and weave brightly colored textiles much as their ancestors did before the violent arrival of the Spaniards five centuries ago.
