The Urumbamba valley in the Andes, full of history and culture, just a few miles from the equally famous town of Cusco.

My suggestion

Allow a number of days here since the valley is home to magical places, touristy or less so, to discover.

The Lost Valley of the Incas is found in the Peruvian Andes. It's not only historically rich but also boasts stunning landscapes along the River Urubamba.

My suggestion

Make sure you have enough time to explore and enjoy this iconic region of Peru. If you're planning to visit all of the sites, it's worth buying a 'boleto turístico' or tourist ticket, which is valid for 10 days and works out cheaper than individual entry prices.

Like an "Inca attic", the Sacred Valley really is the place to explore if you want to understand the culture and lifestyle of this ancient civilisation.

My suggestion

If you are passionate about history or Inca civilisation, or even just curious about Peru's past, allow a few days to explore this area in depth.
