The Sacred Valley of the Incas with a pleasant climate, fertile lands and spectacular views surrounding picturesque Quechua communities. In the Sacred Valley you can see ancient agricultural terraces and important archaeological sites, such as Yucay, where the impressive terraces, which are completely intact, act as a background to the quaint village.
