Urubamba Valley Index

Urubamba: the Sacred Valley of the Incas

The Sacred Valley of the Incas has been, since the Inca period, Cusco's agricultural breadbasket. Dominated by the imposing snowy summits of the Cordillera de Vilcabamba up to 5000 meters high, it embraces the area included between the towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Irrigated by the Vilcanota River, that going downstream takes the name of Urubamba, the Sacred Valley is rich in agriculture and produces most of the region’s wheat, potatoes, corn, beans, quinoa and more. The locals consider the maize that grows in the Sacred Valley a gift from God. Its importance to the Inca Empire was even greater and the Incas built fortress and cities throughout this rich valley.

The valley is full of impressive and very important archaeological sites. In both Pisac Ollantaytambo you can find pre-Hispanic archaeological ruins as beautiful as the ruins of Machu Picchu.

Leaving Cusco the road climbs steadily to an altitude of 4100m and, after crossing the plateau, descends into the valley dropping with countless curves to around 3000m. After reaching Pisac, the ancient Quechua village, travelling further along the river Urubamba / Vilcanota, you will reach Ollantaytambo where the road stops.
From Ollantaytambo the only way to proceed is to take the train to Machu Picchu Pueblo, leaving the fertile valley rich of agriculture for the beautiful cloud forest that has preserved Machu Picchu for a log times before its discovery and tourist exploitation.

We arrived at Ollantaytambo in the late evening and boarded the last evening train to Machu Picchu. On the way back we took the first train that leaves Machu Picchu in the morning arriving at Ollantaytambo before all the groups and exploring the ruins in perfect solitude. Returning to Cusco we took a local bus to Chinchero and from there, after the visit of the village, with a short taxi ride we finally reached Cusco.
