The Scared Valley is the area surrounding Cusco, and is what you’ll go through if you are planning for an adventure trip to Peru. Cusco was the capital of the previous Incan Empire, but several of their constructions and buildings were ruined when the Spanish attacked and took over. Though the metropolis was the epicenter of Inca, it was enclosed by satellite towns & constructions. These were ruined by the Spanish, but classically not reconstructed upon, meaning that at present the Scared Valley has some of the finest Inca ruin remains in entire Latin America.
Pisac is approximately thirty kilometers outside of Cusco and is renowned for its conventional artisan & food market. It’s also home to some huge Inca ruins. Positioned atop a hill, the Pisac ruins are enclosed by terraces and often ignored by travelers on 1-day Scared Valley tours. The temples and ceremonial centre are some of the highlights in this region.
Moray is another wonderful place to tour in the Scared Valley. Though this location doesn’t have any remains, it does have many fascinating downward spiraling farming terraces. Right next to a sharp valley drop off, making a direct route to snow-roofed mountain peaks beyond, this was where the Incas researched with different kinds of soil, seeds, and growing patterns. They employed their knowledge to enhance their food supply, characteristics and strength.
Ollantaytambo is 1 of the most renowned cities in the Sacred Valley. The city is small and old, which’s what makes it so appealing. It has been constantly populated since the thirteenth century, and the original paths and structure of half of the city are original. Travelers actually march along the same roads the Incas did. The major attraction at Ollantaytambo is its huge hillside remains. The remains sit upon a layer of green terraces, that are lined by well-organized stone upports. Following climbing up a vertical staircase, travelers are rewarded with 2 main remarkable structures: the Sun Temple & the Temple of 10 Niches. Both hold big rocks that were towed from a quarry 6 kms away and ideal stone alliance.
The ruins provide a great sight of the valley, enclosing mountains and the city underneath. However, to capture the best sight in Ollantaytambo, head towards the mountain directly across from the major ruins, where many Incan storehouses are placed. These optional ruins are absolutely free of cost to trip and provide you the finest sight of the foremost Ollantaytambo ruins.
