Sacred Valley

Before heading to Machu Picchu, we chose to joined one day tour of sacred valley, it was one of amazing spots during our Peru trip, especially our guide is sooo goood and explain everything clear. Addicted to the history of this area, PLEASE VISIT HERE IF YOU HAVE TIME:)

absolutely stunning. i still dream of sacred valley! definitely a bucket list trip. absolutely recommend booking an atv ride through sacred valley, it was unforgettable!

Insanely beautiful. Trip of lifetime. Did a week of Ayahuasca and then another week afterwards. Just exploring the countryside. People are lovely wonderful I cannot say more about this place. Lots of communities located here.

Magic place! So much to admire ⛰️

Gorgeous valley that showcase the ingenuity of the inca empire in farming The Aedean villages located at this site is surrounded by the Peruvian Andes.Stunning scenery

I mean, what can I say that hasn't been said? The landscapes and scenery are gorgeous. Breathtaking, actually, and I say that without being dramatic. If you're in Cusco, there is much more to see and do than Machu Pichu (no shade) and the Sacred Valley is one of those things. Please understand that the entire valley is huge and if you want to see it all, you'll likely need to take a week or more to catch all the sights. I stopped by Pisac, the Salt Marshes, the Sun Temple, and Ollantatytambo. All amazing (check out my photos below) and definitely worth the trip. You will need a car or bus to move from location to location. Walking is not recommended, unless you plan for that to be your trip. There are daily, weekly, and monthly passes. If you're not Peruvian, you will be charged a little more, so expect that. I'd recommend packing a sun hat, sunscreen, water, and a nice winter coat. Even on a sunny day, if you step into the shade you'll feel the chill and there were definitely a few breezes when I visited. There are several street vendors selling food, clothes, ornaments, etc (while you're in the more modern built up town areas I mean) and you can haggle with them as you wish. All in all, more than worth the trip and I can't wait to return. Follow me on Instagram @natashalane84 for more travel reviews, tips, and social commentary!

Underrated little town that sits at the junction between cusco and machu picchu. I would recommend at least one night of stay here to explore the ruins, the pizza, and the amazing vibe of this little town

It was another of the places that we had included in our itinerary package that we had contracted. The company that was in charge in Peru was salkantay trekking. We went with a very good guide who explained everything to us with great affection for his work, giving encouragement to those who found it difficult to climb and making the necessary stops. This archaeological site is located at almost 2,700 meters and the height is felt. It served as a fort for the leader of the Inca resistance at one time. Fabulous construction with ruins on all sides, cobbled streets, agricultural terraces and remains of a temple.
