Morning light slides over terraced slopes as the minivan eases out of Cusco, leaving the high city bustle for the broad, sunlit bones of the Sacred Valley. Over twelve hours you move through living history: textile looms in Chinchero, the concentric agricultural bowls of Moray, the sun-baked pans of Maras, the fortress stones of Ollantaytambo and the lookout ruins above Pisac — each place a different chapter in Andean life.
