Surrounded by the energizing Andes and painted in a verdant green, to visit the lush Sacred Valley in southeastern Peru is to connect to nature and Peru's past. Just as the Vilcanota River (also known as Urubamba River) flows through this fertile land, travelers can snake their way around archaeological wonders, connect with charming townspeople in traditional villages, and taste the local flavors that emerge from the remarkably rich soil. Of course, no trip to the Sacred Valley would be complete without visiting Machu Picchu. Set firmly in the Andes Mountains at nearly 8,200 feet above sea level, the Inca citadel has stood the test of time as a tourist attraction for all that it encompasses: the lush flora and native fauna at its base, the spectacular views at the top, the rush of adrenaline to get there, and a showcase of impressive architectural feats throughout.
