The Sacred Valley, named for being the main supplier of food for the Inca empire, sits on the banks of the Urubamba River. The Incas built archaeological centers, along its banks, that replicated the constellations that they knew of the Andean sky, so this contributes even more to the beauty of this charming valley.
