About this destination
Peru's Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba River through Andean villages, agricultural terraces and remarkable Inca sites. Ollantaytambo preserves monumental stonework and a living old town, while Pisac is known for its hillside terraces and archaeological remains. Nearby Maras salt ponds reveal a centuries-old tradition of salt production. The dry season usually offers more reliable conditions for walking, though altitude and changing mountain weather call for a measured pace.
