The Urubamba Valley, otherwise known as the Sacred valley of the Incas, is a valley located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, close to the Incan capital of Cusco. The Urubamba River, or Sacred River as it is called when it passes through the Urubamba Valley, is a headwater of the Amazon River. The valley held great significance for the Incas, not only for religious purposes but for its vast amounts of natural wealth.
