About the Sacred Valley, it`s composed of mountains and valley connected by the Urubamba river between the village of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo. Precisely in those two place are located the most important archeological sites of the region. Some historians sustain that the according to the mythology, the valley had sacred character, because the river that flows along the valley was finally joining the milky way, the celestial river.
