What to See and Do in Peru’s Sacred Valley

Peru’s Sacred Valley is a vital stretch of alpine countryside that connects the ancient Incan citadel of Machu Picchu to the bustling city of Cusco. Here, visitors can explore a range of archaeological ruins, including the largest known Incan cemetery and a historic sundial, as well as local markets and ancient salt pools. Here are eight must-see experiences to add to your Peru bucket list. Note: Before you go, consider booking a private guide or tour company such as Kuoda Travel (a locally owned tour operator), as many sites require a guide to gain access.
