Pisac-Sacred Valley-Urubamba

• The Sacred Valley, located at approximately 2,800m (9,186ft.) in the Peruvian Andes, was the heartland of the Inca Empire. Bordering the Urubamba River, its fertile soils were ideal for maize production, which was an esteemed crop and key ingredient to make “chicha”, a fermented maize drink highly consumed by the Incas during festivities and ceremonies. As you drive through the winding roads, stop to explore many fascinating ruins, citadels, and agricultural terraces. Some of the Sacred Valley’s favorite attractions include Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Maras, Moray, and the weaving village of Chinchero.
• Start your excursion today with a visit to the small town of Pisac. Pisac is most famous for its “empanada” ovens, and we will be visiting Pucmachayoc, one of the oldest and most original ones, and for generations in the same family. Ernestina prepares five different types of empanadas – sweet and savory, making your choice for your sample so much harder.
