Stretching for more than 35 miles through some of Peru's most fertile farmland, The Sacred Valley of the Incas was one of the most significant parts of the Incan empire, and it's now one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. You could easily spend a week or more exploring the many sights the valley has to offer, but if you only have enough time for a whirlwind tour, highlights include the stone terraces in Ollantaytambo, the salt mines at Maras, and the Pisac Sunday market. If you want an adrenaline rush, you can also go paragliding, bungee jumping, or white-water rafting. Map
