SACRED VALLED

Description

Named for being the main food supplier of the Inca empire, the Sacred Valley is located on the banks of the Urubamba River. This river was originally called Vilcanota, which comes from the Quechua word Wilcamayu or Sacred River. The Incas built archaeological centers along its banks that replicated the constellations they knew of the Andean sky, which contributes even more to the beauty of this enchanting valley.
