The Sacred Valley of the Incas is a succession of incredible places, each one with a special charm every town is unique and you can experience different feelings, there are 3 places you must visit and never miss the incredible experience of knowing them they are unique places in the world and that will completely fill all your senses.
Usually the tours through the Sacred Valley of the Incas include the classics Pisac, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo, this is due in part to the fact that most tourists only spend a day touring the Sacred Valley, either because of the tight itinerary of their trip or maybe because people take them as simple places in their way to Machu Picchu.
But this fertile valley, which was the place chosen by many of the Inca emperors as their resting place, has much more to discover.
