Review:
Known for being one of the most popular areas in Peru, the Sacred Valley is the cradle of the ancient Incan civilization. As the spiritual, agricultural, and political center for the ancient Incas, the Sacred Valley contains some of Peru's most iconic sites, including the Pisac and Ollantaytambo ruins. The Sacred Valley is easy to reach from Cusco as well as Aguas Calientes, the town closest to Machu Picchu. Visitors can easily explore the area on their own, or they can join one of the many guided tours that leave from Cusco and the surrounding towns.
