Sacred Valley One Day Tour
Description:
Explore the mysteries and traditions of Inca history amidst beautiful natural landscapes, Inca terraces, and villages that keep the Andean culture alive.
The Sacred Valley, a natural treasure frozen in time during the Inca era, is protected by sacred mountains and nourished by the Urubamba River, which bathes and shapes its fertile lands along the way.
Located at an altitude of 2,800 meters, the valley is renowned for its excellent climate and unique geographical features. It is considered the gateway to the enigmatic Machu Picchu and the Amazon rainforest.
