The Sacred Valley of the Incas or the Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes of Peru, close to the Inca capital of Cusco and the ancient city of Machu Picchu. It is located in the present-day Peruvian region of Cusco. In colonial documents it is referred to as the "Valley of Yucay." According to recent research it encompasses the heartland of the Inca Empire.
The valley is generally understood to include everything between Calca and Lamay, Písac, and Ollantaytambo. The valley was formed by the Urubamba River, also known as Willkanuta River (Aymara, "house of the sun") or Willkamayu (Quechua). The latter, in Quechua, the still spoken lingua franca of the Inca Empire, means the sacred river. It is fed by numerous rivers which descend through adjoining valleys and gorges, and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages. The valley was appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the empire's main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and one of the most important areas for maize production in Peru northwards from Pisac. The early Incas may have come from Wimpillay, as their mummies had been discovered there. Large scale maize production started around 1400 as Inca urban agriculture based on varieties bred in Moray, either a governmental crop lab or a seedling nursery of the Incas.

Sacred Valley Luxury Cabin Peru 🇵🇪
■ PERU, SACRED VALLEY: In a region famed for her abundance of Inca ruins, the Sacred Valley of Cusco, the last thing I expected was to uncover one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at plus have said premises all to myself.
Yet that is exactly what happened at Sacred Lodge Luxury hotel. Upon arrival the receptionist wasn't even there.
So what then makes this hotel such great value for money? And why were there no other guests there if this is the case? Why is there a cat in my room? And why on earth did I swim in that wild river? That and more in today's episode from Peru's sacred valley. . .

ΣΤΙΧΟΙ (LYRICS)
Anything you feel just say it
cause time is running so fast.
Once the sky calls you
you know theres no turning back.
Hey I think it's taking me, taking me.
Deep, the sea is now the sky
and birds start to fly.
Dead bodies on the floor
can't take this anymore.
Praying for silence to come,
my ears are bleedin', I've lost the son.
Now I can valuethose little things into our life, all those things that
you don't need to pay for.
Most precious things are fuckin' priceless.
When I open my eyes, I just see what's in front of me,
but when they're closed, I can see what i wish for.
Auguries, auspice, omens don't you see?
You're a tool.
Watch the warning sign, that the earth will devine
birds are flyin' away water will turn into fire.
Deep, the sea is now the sky
and birds start to fly.
Dead bodies on the floor
can't take this anymore.
Praying for silence to come
my ears are bleedin', I've lost the son.
Now I can valuethose little things into our life, all those things that
you don't need to pay for.
Most precious things are fuckin' priceless.
When I open my eyes, I just see what's in front of me
but when they're closed, I can see what I wish for.
I can't stand the reality, and all these people
so i'll stay in my dreams, with my eyes locked and closed.
Pray for silence.
I ll pray for silence till I die.
Pray for silence.
I ll pray for silence till I die.
I ll pray for silence till I die.
I ll pray for silence till I die.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas or the Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes of Peru, close to the Inca capital of Cusco and the ancient city of Machu Picchu. It is located in the present-day Peruvian region of Cusco. In colonial documents it is referred to as the "Valley of Yucay." According to recent research it encompasses the heartland of the Inca Empire.
The valley is generally understood to include everything between Calca and Lamay, Písac, and Ollantaytambo. The valley was formed by the Urubamba River, also known as Willkanuta River (Aymara, "house of the sun") or Willkamayu (Quechua). The latter, in Quechua, the still spoken lingua franca of the Inca Empire, means the sacred river. It is fed by numerous rivers which descend through adjoining valleys and gorges, and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages. The valley was appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the empire's main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and one of the most important areas for maize production in Peru northwards from Pisac. The early Incas may have come from Wimpillay, as their mummies had been discovered there. Large scale maize production started around 1400 as Inca urban agriculture based on varieties bred in Moray, either a governmental crop lab or a seedling nursery of the Incas.
