	Sacred Valley : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		The Urubamba Valley, better known as El Valle Sagrado de los Incas (the Sacred Valley of the Incas), is a relaxed and incomparably beautiful stretch of small villages and ancient ruins spread across a broad plain and rugged mountain slopes northwest of Cusco.
		Through the valley rolls the revered Río Urubamba (called the Willcamayu by the Incas; today it is also called the Vilcanota in one section), a pivotal religious element of the Incas' cosmology.
		With the river as its source, the fertile valley was a major center of agricultural production for the Incas, who grew native Andean crops such as white corn, coca, potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables in expansive fields and along spectacularly terraced mountain slopes.

	NOTES ON LITTLE KNOWN BIRDS OF THE UPPER URUBAMBA VALLEY, SOUTHERN PERU
		This is another hummingbird of restricted elevational and geographical distribution (Urubamba Valley south to the Department of Cochabamba, Bolivia).
		This toucan was not recorded by Parker in the upper Marcapata Valley (3,300 m), 100 km south of the Urubamba region, during the period 16-21 October 1974, suggesting that a hiatus in known distribution (see Haffer 1974) between A. hypoglauca and A. cucullata may be real and not a function of inadequate collecting.
		Described by Chapman (1923) from six specimens taken by Heller in 1915 in the upper Urubamba drainage, this ovenbird was common in Chusquea bamboo understory of forest and edge from San Luis to Canchaillo (2,745-3,260 m), where it was seen singly or in pairs gleaning foliage and stalks of bamboo, and shrubbery.

		At dawn, a hazy mist covers the route from Cuzco to the Sacred Valley and soon Cuzco, with all its vestiges of Inca antiquity and colonial grandeur, is lost from sight.

		From an architectural standpoint, the Sacred Valley route is truly admirable in that Inca architects believe in the importance of not divorcing men from their surroundings.
