The Sacred Valley, Luxury Tailor-made Holidays in Peru

Church perched high above the Sacred Valley

Known as Vilcamayo to the Incas, as El Valle Sagrado de los Incas to the Spanish and as The Sacred Valley to the rest of us, this is the portion of the Urubamba river valley from Pisac to Ollantaytambo. The Sacred Valley is a fertile valley - it is beautiful, atmospheric and captivating. It is at a lower elevation than Cusco (an hour away by car), which makes for a gentler acclimatisation to the altitude.

The Urubamba river flows through the valley and there is plenty to see and do here. To stop in the valley for a few days after spending some time in Cusco and before heading to Machu Picchu is highly recommended.

Five reasons you should visit The Sacred Valley:

1 - Natural Beauty: admire the lush valleys leading to cloud forest that held the Incas and the conquistadors in awe.

2 - Inca Ruins: visit Moray, Pisaq and Ollantaytambo, the only undefeated Inca fortress.

3 - Markets: discover beautiful textiles and other bargains in the Pisaq market which has been operating since Inca times.

4 - Tradition: witness the weaving and wool dying processes in Chinchero.

5 - Potatoes: taste some of the 4000 varieties of potato grown in Peru and wash it all down with a glass of Chicha Morada, made from purple corn.
