What to do and see in Urubamba, Cusco Region: The Best Nature & Parks
Just its location—in the Sacred Valley of the Incas—makes Urubamba sound like a mystical, magical place. The snow covered Ch'iqun mountain stands proudly in the background of this Peruvian town that serves as a base for people who want to visit the famous ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. Zip lines and horseback rides let you experience this valley in the Andes in wildly different ways.

I went on the 3 days horse ride in the valle sagrado and it was one of the best tours i ever did. The horses are beautiful and well trained passo peruanos. We were riding every day arount 5-6 hours. The landscape is incredible and we visited Maras, Moray, Salineras, Chinchero and many other places. Yojan has a huge knowledge about the valle sagrado and it was very interesting to get more details about the life of the farmers and the Inca ruines. The first night we spent in a small comunity called Mizminay. The people are super friendly and welcoming. I recommend this ride to advanced riders who want to experience something unique. For beginners i recommend to do a shorter ride. Thank you for this awesome experience!

This beautiful lagoon is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in the district of Hayllabamba. To access, it is necessary to hike for about 4 hours starting from the Huayoraci Hacienda. This natural attraction is surrounded by a spectacular forest of Andean native trees named 'Queuñas'. Suitable for hikers, campers, photograpers or just nature lovers like you.
