URUBAMBA
The Sacred Valley of the Incas and the Urubamba are used inter-changeably to describe the valley that runs from east of Pisac to Ollantaytambo at the western end of the Valley. It is a narrow, winding valley with spectacular snow capped peaks constantly in view. "

The Urubamba River
"The Sacred River of the Incas still winds its way around the base of Putucusi (on the left), passing Machu Picchu 2000 feet beneath the famous citadel. A sense of sanctuary is created by the ring of the surrounding mountains. They stand with such majesty, their sheer faces like a barrier to the outside world."
