More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Daylight arrives cool over the Urubamba River as your minivan winds out of Cusco toward a strip of cultivated valley hugged by steep Andean slopes. Terraced fields step down like folded ledgers; llamas pick at the margins while vendors set up stalls in Pisac’s market. You move between ruins, markets and a riverside lunch inside one long, sunlit day.
