A short distance from Cusco, the Sacred Valley stretches
along the Urubamba River; a beautiful region of rolling countryside,
where there are many well preserved Inca sites. Pisac is renowned for
its colourful market held weekly in the main plaza. Above the town are
the sprawling remains of a magnificent Inca fortress. You can still see
the original Inca terracing, temples, tombs and ceremonial baths and
the views of the surrounding valley are superb. The small village of
Ollantaytambo is one of the oldest recorded settlements in the Americas.
Inca water channels still cut through the cobbled streets, the fortress
that looms high above the town witnessed one of the few Inca victories
over the Spanish.
Properties
Sol y Luna
Located one km from Urubamba in the Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna, is
a tranquil property set amongst spectacular scenery. The 28 red roofed bungalows
have been constructed from local materials; all have private verandas and are
set in a delightful tropical garden.
Synonymous with the Inca, the culture and heritage of both countries remains incredibly strong. Sail across Lake Titicaca or walk amongst ancient ruins in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Llamas are your constant land companion whilst high up condors circle above you.
