The Sacred Valley of Peru
The Sacred Valley is an international tourist destination famous for its amazing archaeological sites such as MachuPicchu, Sacsayhuaman, Pisaq, among others, and the City of Cuzco of course. The valley is also known for having one of the world's best year-round climates; warm but not hot and cool but not cold. It is flanked by mountains that separate it from the massive amazon watershed that ensures mild rain for six months out of the year in a warm and sunny weather system where you can have both rain and sun three times in the same day in the rainy season, and glorious sunshine in the dry season. It is not a humid climate despite being near the equator and the rain forests. There are no poisonous bugs or dangerous animals.
The Valley is home to some of the finest cuisine and a string of charming towns and small scale sustainable agriculture making it an epicurian oasis.
There are vibrant expat and native communities with wonderful alternative schools, cultural events and lots of outdoor ecological projects and opportunities.
