Curious fact: Pisac’s market has been active for centuries, and many locals still trade using the barter system, a tradition inherited from the Incas.
Moray Agricultural Terraces
Moray’s striking circular terraces resemble a giant amphitheater and are believed to have been an Inca agricultural laboratory. The Incas used the varying microclimates of the terraces to experiment with crops.
Curious fact: Studies show that Moray’s terraces create temperature differences of up to 15°C between top and bottom levels, allowing Incas to simulate diverse growing conditions.

Curious fact: The traditional weaving techniques practiced in Chinchero were declared part of Peru’s cultural heritage and are passed down through generations of women.

Urubamba, the largest town in the Sacred Valley, is a cultural hub and an excellent base for exploring nearby ruins and natural wonders. It’s also known for its gastronomy and local markets.
Curious fact: Urubamba was considered sacred by the Incas because of its fertile soil, and today it’s one of Peru’s main areas for growing maize, especially the giant kernels of “maíz blanco.”
Ollantaytambo Fortress
Often called the “Living Inca Town,” Ollantaytambo preserves its original Inca urban layout, with cobblestone streets and functioning canals. The fortress features massive terraces, temples, and breathtaking views of the valley.
Curious fact: The giant stone blocks of Ollantaytambo were transported from a quarry located across the Urubamba River, more than 6 km away — a remarkable engineering feat for the Incas.
Maras Salt Mines (Salineras de Maras)
The Maras Salt Mines are a unique landscape of over 3,000 shallow salt pools carved into the mountainside, fed by a natural saltwater spring. Families from the area still harvest the salt by hand, following Inca traditions.
