Peru Guide : Cusco > From Cusco to the Sacred Valley

There are two routes from Cusco to the Sacred Valley. The first, to Pisac, passes the archaeological sites close to Cusco. The other route goes directly to Urubamba, and is the more beautiful of the two, with some very beautiful views of snow-capped mountains. This route also passes some very interesting and important sites, described below.
