Sacred Valley of the Inkas Tour
Overview
Located in the present-day Peruvian region of Cusco. In colonial documents, it is referred to as the “Valley of Yucay.” The valley was formed by the Urubamba river, also known as Vilcanota River or Willkamayu. The latter, in Quechua that means the sacred river. It is fed by numerous rivers which descend through adjoining valleys and gorges and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages. The valley was appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the empire’s main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and one of the most important areas for corn production in Peru northwards from Pisac.
