Destination overview
Understanding Sacred Valley
The Sacred Valley is one of the most useful places for understanding how landscape, agriculture and Inca settlement patterns connect across the Cusco region. Rather than a single attraction, it is a corridor of towns, terraces, archaeological sites and living communities.
Travelers often use the valley as a bridge between Cusco and Machu Picchu, but it also works as a destination in its own right for culture, photography, local markets and archaeology.
