The Sacred Valley, also known as the Valle Sagrado, is located in the Andes of Peru, approximately 15 kilometers north of Cusco. It stretches from the town of Pisac to Ollantaytambo along the Urubamba River. With an altitude ranging from 2,800 meters (9,186 feet) to 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) above sea level, the valley is an excellent place for acclimatizing before heading to higher elevations like the Inca Trail or Machu Picchu.

In the wet season (October to April), expect occasional showers and slightly warmer temperatures. It’s advisable to bring a waterproof jacket or poncho and wear sturdy, waterproof footwear.
It’s best to dress in layers for the Sacred Valley Tour to accommodate changing temperatures and weather conditions. Start with a comfortable base layer, such as a moisture-wicking shirt, to keep you dry. Over that, wear a light sweater or fleece for warmth.
