The Sacred Valley of the Incas was the center of the vast Incan Empire. This fertile land with an excellent climate has been a major agricultural region for thousands of years. The extensive ruins stretch from the villages of Pisac to Ollantaytambo, in the north end of the narrow valley, the citadel of Machu Picchu is located.
