Introduction to Urubamba and Yucay

78km (48 miles) NW of Cusco

Centrally located Urubamba, a transportation hub, is the busiest of the Sacred Valley towns and the best equipped to handle visitors. Although the town itself doesn't have a whole lot more than a handsome main plaza, magnificent mountain scenery, and a few restaurants to offer, the surrounding region is lovely, and several of the best hotels in the region are located within a radius of a few miles: either just south near Yucay, an attractive colonial village, or north on the road toward Ollantaytambo. The area as a whole makes a fine base from which to explore the Sacred Valley.
