Peru\u2019s Sacred Valley, otherwise known as the Urubamba River Valley,<\/em> is a stunning stretch of landscape dotted with little villages and ruins that sit wedged between an expansive plain and jagged slopes, northwest of Cusco. Known for its imposing Inca ruins, some of the most majestic on the continent, the area was once the Inca center of religious ceremonies, which included enormous palaces, estates and temples, all lining the route between Cusco and the citadel of Machu Picchu. Established, according to legend, by Manco C\u00e1pac \u2013 founder of the Incan civilization \u2013 when he was bidden by the gods to walk from Lake Titicaca to the spot where he could plunge his whole golden staff into the ground, fecund Urubamba fitted the bill perfectly.<\/p>\n

Sacred Valley, Peru \u00a9 tovfla\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s no real wonder that it did. Making the place so lush and arable is the valley\u2019s river, the Rio Urubamba, considered one of the crucial pins of the universe by the Incas, who tied it to the behaviors of both the stars and the planets. Labeled \u201cThe Sacred River\u201d and upstream as \u201cThe House of the Sun\u201d, much of life around it is still resolutely traditional in its habits today, with many locals continuing to weave and wear customary dress, sell their wares at the markets in the little village of Chinchero, work the fields, and speak the main language of the Incan Empire, Quechuan, more popularly known as Runa Simi or \u201cthe people\u2019s language\u201d.<\/p>\n

Next, view the incredible terraced salt pans of Maras that date back millennia. A patchwork of pinks, tans and browns, bleached to an off-white in the sun, it\u2019s where the Incas diverted a salty spring into large, shallow ponds in order to evaporate the water, leaving heaps of that most yearned-for of condiments: salt. Three miles to the west, in Moray, there are baffling circular terraces that resemble amphitheaters but appear to have been used for agricultural experiments. Sustain the mystery and suspense after a visit by witnessing a Pachamama ceremony, or a \u201cPayment to the Earth\u201d, in which a local shaman performs the centuries old ritual of honoring and revering the earth as a source of life.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no point going to Peru\u2019s Sacred Valley, however, without seeing Machu Picchu or \u201cOld Mountain\u201d, possibly the most celebrated ruin in Latin America. Sadly, that\u2019s not its real name, which is lost forever in the sands of time. But no matter what you call it, its mystical allure and pathos appeals to visitors from across the globe, and has done right down the ages. Take the Vistadome train to get there. Few experiences are more rewarding than settling down into one of its panoramic viewing cars and peering out at everything from mountain passes to rainforest, deep ravines to Incan stonework. Almost every episode along the way is packed full of nature\u2019s wonders, including wildlife such as condors, llamas, fluorescent frogs and much, much more.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t leave the Sacred Valley, however, without paying the Andean weavers<\/a> a visit. Ask what the recipes to the vivid dyes are or what the significance is to the symbolic patterns they\u2019ve woven for centuries. Alternatively, visit Ollantaytambo. Set on a plateau in the mountains, it was one of the last Inca sites to fall to the Spanish and is now used for indigenous festivals such as Ollantay Raymi, a celebration of the Inca sun god, and is an archaeological marvel in its own right.<\/p>\n
