About this experience
The Sacred Valley is one of the most emblematic and attractive regions of Peru, its most outstanding characteristics are that it covers more than 80 kilometers, it was also considered a sacred area for the Incas since the territory was very productive for agriculture.
Located in the city of Cusco at a general altitude of 2000 and 2800 m.a.s.l., with a climate that varies between 22°C to 25°C in the mornings and 8°C to 10°C at night. Due to the vast agriculture in the valley, the Incas built their main temples and cities there, for this reason is that in the Sacred Valley sector we will find important urban centers of great importance as Pisac, Yucay, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo.
