Once the epicenter of the Inca Empire, the Scared Valley surrounds Peru’s Urubamba River. Towering peaks of the Andean Mountains, rural villages with cobbled streets, agricultural terraces, wandering alpacas, ruins of architectural marvels and welcoming locals add to the valley’s abundant riches. Most visitors come to experience the mystical lure of Machu Picchu but dive deeper to discover even more wonders. These postcards from Peru provide a glimpse of the Sacred Valley’s treasures.
