Itinerary
Day 1 Sacred Valley
The Sacred Valley is one of the most impressive natural and cultural areas of Cusco. Its original name in the native Quechua language is Wilkmayu, which means Sacred River. Contemporarily it is known as Urubamba or Vilcanota River, which is one of the most important tributaries of the Amazon river. The Sacred Valley is the Cusco region’s breadbasket. Its fertile lands and mostly temperate weather turn it into an area rich in agriculture where people produce giant white corn, vegetables, and fruits. In the Andean cosmovision, the Milky Way is thought to be mirroring the Urubamba river, and the fauna existing along the valley can also be seen in the Milky Way. These two factors are the reasons why Andean people consider the Urubamba river holy or Sacred.
