Sacred Valley of the Incas Day Trip from Cusco

Only 1 hour away by paved road from Cusco, the valley of the Urubamba River, or Sacred Valley of the Incas, is a setting of picturesque communities, impressive terraces, and important archaeological sites. Dominated by the imposing peaks of the Vilcanota mountain range, the valley has been, since Inca times, an agricultural pantry of Cusco. Today, it is famous for having the world's largest grain valley, which covers the area between the Inca towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, and thanks to its climate and unique geography, it is the ideal destination for adventure sport lovers (kayaking, mountain biking, free flights, and hikes).
