Named as the main supplier of food of the Inca empire, the Sacred Valley sits on the banks of the Urubamba River. This river has its beginnings in the name of Vilcanota, which comes from the Quechua word Wilcamayu or Sacred River. The Incas built archaeological sites along its banks, which replicated the constellations they knew the Andean sky so this contributes further to the beauty of this lovely valley.
