The Sacred Valley beyond the classic route, close to the land.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Four places where the valley's relationship with the land is easiest to see: a highland community that weaves with natural dyes, circular terraces where the Incas worked with soil and climate, salt pans fed by a mountain spring, and a fortress-town built into the mountainside. The day moves at a calm pace, with plenty of open air and wide views, then lunch in Urubamba in the middle of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for:<\/strong> travelers who want a full day in the valley, close to nature and with fewer crowds than the classic circuit. In the private service you can shape the day around your interests: spend longer where you are most curious, skip what you have already seen or change the order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
