V!VA User‘s Description
The Sacred Valley offers much to see and do. A few days spent checking out the sights is recommended. Base yourself in one of the little towns, such as Pisac, Urubamba or Ollantaytambo and explore the surrounds from there. Pisac makes a great starting out point. The town features the very famous and not-to-be missed Pisac Market. Aside from the market, the ruins of the Pisac fortress should be visited. In the Sacred Valley, there are a few interesting museums, such as El Museo Catcco in Ollantaytambo, which provide information about the fascinating local history. But the main reason for visiting this region is the seemingly limitless number of scenic hikes and treks through the Sacred Valley. Many of the hikes combine walking through beautiful countryside on your way to, or via various ruins sites.
