Guided Tour of the Sacred Valley (Pisaq and Ollantaytambo). Tucked between the city of Cusco and Machu Picchu, it is a stretch of virtually untouched villages and ancient ruins ranging across broad fields and mountain slopes, it drips with Andean history, culture, and beauty. Originally formed by the Urubamba River, the valley was once the fertile and spiritual base of the Incan Empire. The Inca ruins of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo are the living testimony of the rich history and heritage of the now extinct Empire.
