Sacred Valley of the Incas

The Sacred Valley of the Incas (Valle Sagrado de los Incas) or the Urubamba Valley, in the Andes. Lot of archaeological sites and modern towns are located in the Sacred Valley.
The Pisac ruins are the agricultural terracing, which sweeps around the south and east flanks of the mountain in curves. The terracing is joined by diagonal flights of stairs made of flagstones set into the terrace walls. Above the terraces are cliff-hugging footpaths, watched over by caracara falcons and well defended by massive stone doorways, steep stairs and a short tunnel carved out of the rock.
Typical inca dishes: rolls with peruvian black mint butter, causa, potato soup, stuffed spicy chili pepper (rocoto) with quinoa and anden potatos, strawberry sorbet and cheesecake. 😋 In the andes exist more than 3,500 varieties of potatoes.Read more
