2025 Urubamba Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

2024.08.27 Today's itinerary took us through several classic spots in the Inca Sacred Valley, showcasing the rich culture of the Inca civilization from traditional weaving techniques to spectacular ancient ruins! The tour we joined actually took us to many places, but because of this, each stop felt rushed. The guide wanted us to understand everything, so the explanations took a long time, leaving very little time for photos or thorough exploration! The guide mentioned that this itinerary is actually suitable for a two-day, one-night trip, but they condensed it into a one-day tour for travelers with limited time. So, for those who like to explore each site slowly, it's recommended to split it into two days; otherwise, it feels quite rushed! Chinchero Our first stop was Chinchero, known as the "City of the Rainbow," one of the agricultural centers of the Inca Empire. Initially, we were taken to see a traditional weaving demonstration. Although this part felt a bit like a sales pitch for textiles, we still learned a lot of interesting craft knowledge. However, what truly amazed me was the visit to Complejo Arqueológico Chinchero. The ruins here blend Inca architecture with Spanish colonial styles, showcasing a unique historical fusion. Unfortunately, the guided tour was too short, especially with only 10 minutes for photos, making the entrance fee (70 sol, about 600 TWD) feel somewhat wasted. The 70 sol ticket includes several ruins for today (excluding the salt mines ticket of 20 sol). If you have the 10-day BTC (Boleto Turístico del Cusco General) ticket for 130 sol like me, you don't need to buy additional tickets. Moray Next, we headed to Moray, an agricultural laboratory of the ancient Incas. The circular terraces of Moray are believed to simulate different climatic conditions for crop growth. Despite the guided tour lasting just over 20 minutes, the scenery and historical significance made it very worthwhile. However, again, the photo time was only 10 minutes, making one wish for more time to appreciate this spectacular place. Salinas de Maras Before heading to the Salinas de Maras salt mines, we were first taken to a shop selling salt products... Here, we had to listen to the guide introduce the salt and taste the products, staying for 30 minutes. The key point is that these products can be bought at the San Pedro market in Cusco. Salinas de Maras, located in the Sacred Valley of Peru, is famous for its spectacular salt mines, used since pre-Inca times. The local salt is produced through a natural process, with mineral-rich spring water flowing into thousands of shallow pools. As the water evaporates under the sun, crystallized salt is left behind. At Salinas de Maras, salt is categorized by different colors and uses: 1. White Salt: This is the purest and most commonly used edible salt, rich in minerals and with a delicate taste. White salt is typically used for cooking and daily seasoning, making it a high-quality souvenir. 2. Pink Rose Salt: This salt contains more minerals, especially iron, giving it a unique pink hue. 3. Yellow Salt: Due to its high mineral content and special color, this salt is suitable for bathing or therapeutic purposes. Yellow salt is often recommended as bath salt, helping to relax the body and promote skin health. The salt mine ticket is 20 sol (about 170 TWD). The Maras salt mines consist of thousands of small salt pools, used since the Inca era. The saltwater comes from underground springs in the Andes, forming crystallized salt through natural evaporation, creating a spectacular sight. This place is particularly suitable for photography, but again, the time felt too short to fully enjoy the beauty here. Urubamba We stopped for lunch in Urubamba, a small town in the Sacred Valley. We had lunch at a buffet restaurant, costing about 30 sol per person (about 250 TWD). The scenery in this small town is beautiful, but we only stayed briefly for the meal. Ollantaytambo At 2:30 PM, we arrived at Ollantaytambo, one of the best-preserved Inca sites. The massive stone walls and magnificent valley views of Ollantaytambo are impressive; this was once the last stronghold of the Inca emperor against the Spanish conquerors. The visit time was only 20 minutes, but this site deserves a longer exploration. Afterward, we walked about 10 minutes to the train station to take the Peru Rail train to Machu Picchu. Aguas Calientes (Hot Water Town) We took the Peru Rail train, and upon arriving at Aguas Calientes, we checked into HTL Samananchis Machupicchu, about a 6-minute walk from the station. Although you can hear the sound of the waterfall from the room, it was still quite comfortable overall. We took the Peru Rail to Machu Picchu station (Aguas Calientes). Buying round-trip tickets from the same company is cheaper with a 10% discount. Round-trip train tickets cost $109 per person (about 3500 TWD). The round-trip bus ticket from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu costs $24 per person (about 780 TWD). The Machu Picchu entrance ticket costs $46 per person (about 1480 TWD). Accommodation in Aguas Calientes costs $48 per night for two nights, averaging 780 TWD per night per person, including breakfast. Oh, we are staying in Aguas Calientes for two nights. Although hot water and food are slightly more expensive than in Cusco, staying an extra night allows for a more relaxed experience. Prices in Aguas Calientes are higher, with a meal costing about 50-60 sol (about 420-500 TWD), while in Cusco, it only costs 20-30 sol (about 170-250 TWD). To save money, we brought instant noodles to Aguas Calientes for dinner, and fortunately, the hotel provided hot water! Because this trip to Machu Picchu cost nearly 7500 TWD! It's truly a dream destination, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, hahaha🤣 Next to the hotel is a shop called Arte Rumi Wasi, selling various jewelry. We had a great time browsing inside, as they have earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and more made from various stones and crystals. We found that the owner is very good at finding affordable alternatives. I originally liked a pair of silver earrings for 42 sol, but I thought it was a bit expensive, so the owner immediately took me to a section where earrings cost only 14 sol! Haha😆 Tomorrow, we will start exploring Machu Picchu, the part of the trip I am most looking forward to!

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a 2,430-meter (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of the Inca Empire. We took the earliest bus at 5.30am up to Machu Picchu entrance from the gateway town of Aquas Calientes to see the gorgeous sun rose above the mountains before the beautiful clouds disappeared revealing the breathtaking Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. We spent a good 3 hours walking around and taking amazing photos. There’s no toilet once you’ve passed the entrance so make sure you use the toilet at the entrance before hiking up. Also once you’ve started one of the hiking routes, you cannot turn back but must keep moving forward till the end of the route which takes you back to the entrance where drinks, food and toilets are available so pack a bottle of water or snacks if you need them along the way. This was our top bucket list ticked and an epic trip of a lifetime!#machupicchu #peru

#summerbreak If you have more than a week in Cusco and want to visit Machu Picchu, at the same time you want a little bit of adventure, make sure you visit Salkantay! Salkantay is a very strenuous hike and the Pass is definitely the hardest. On the second day of the trek, you will reach the highest point of the trek, which is the Salkantay Pass. There you will see snow-peaked mountains. If you are lucky, you can also spot some llamas and alpacas just roaming around the mountains and lakes! Hiking to the mountain is like watching an adventure movie! The hike is hard and it might feel hard at first but there are lots of companions along the way so it’s easy to find other fellow travelers! Don’t miss that trek out especially that the trek ends in Machu Picchu!

do i have to explain where this is? This ancient site of Machu Picchu in Peru is MESMERIZING. after trekking for 5 days bypass Salkantay, we finally reached our point. The moment we see the ruins was just unforgettable and touching. There is definitely a reason why it is one of the 7 wonders of the world and nothing about the site is overhyped. you may also see llamas roaming around too!

Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas” (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Inti Watana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared. By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #newyearadventure #beachlife #campingglamping #本地遊 #foodie #nationalpark

one of the most exciting places I have been! unesco world famous historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu at 2400 meters above sea level in Peru. located between the Peruvian Andes and the Amazon Basin, covers an area of 32500 hectares. The Citadel was built in the 15th century and later abandoned when the Inca Empire was conquered by the Spanish. #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

Machu Picchu, one of seven New Wonders of the World and undoubtedly Perù's number one tourist attraction. The UNESCO World Heritage site is also very desirable to the new generation of bloggers, podcasters or those just wanting 'that picture,' you know the elevated picture that covers the entire site without anyone photo-bombing or otherwise interfering with the shot. The most famous home of the Inca's meant even more to us than a picture to impress your friends. The 7th Wonder of the world was just that, the last one standing - we had been to all of the rest and after a couple of false starts we were on our way. After a train ride through the Andes that was priceless in itself - followed by an adrenaline filled bus ride on a track not much wider than the bus, we arrived at the entrance. Touching distance, but hold your horses another couple hundred steps on foot, and breathe. All of the superlatives used to describe Machu Picchu are correct. Most of the site is original and untouched since the sixteenth century when it was abandoned until 1911. The walls and terraces gives us a view into the past and into a culture that once thrived. Keen Astromers, Mathematicians and Engineers the Inca's literally built a city of stone in the sky that we can all enjoy five hundred years later. Awesome seems a feeble understatement when used in the same sentence as Machu Picchu, it was simply brilliant. #machupicchu #southamerica #mountains

Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, built in the 15th century and later abandoned.

In the Andes Mountains, a river cuts through a canyon known as the "Sacred Valley" by the Incas. This canyon is also the only way to Machu Picchu. About 1.5 hours by car, before reaching the town of Urubamba, you can visit a private Inca village attraction: the Maras Salt Mines. The Maras Salt Mines are located at the bottom of a hillside. It is said that this place was once under the sea, and the changes of time have raised it to become a high mountain. The spring water in the mountains brings out the salt accumulated in the mountains and soil. The clever Incas artificially channeled the spring water to distribute it evenly into the salt ponds. The wind and sun evaporate the water, and the salt precipitates at the bottom of the pond. Because of the different heights of the salt ponds, the salt will appear in different colors such as pink, white, and brown, and sparkle in the sunlight. Address: Search for "Salt Mine of Maras" or "Salinas de Maras" in Spanish ⏳Time: About 1 hour. Before entering the salt mines, you will first pass a highland viewing platform overlooking the salt mines. After arriving at the salt mines, there is a small walking loop that takes about 30 minutes to complete. 📝Tips: There is a long dirt road before reaching the scenic area, which will be very muddy if it rains. The section near the salt mines is a cliff road, so drive slowly and pay attention to oncoming traffic. The altitude here is relatively high, and the walking route in the salt mines has a small slope, so walk slowly. There is poor cell phone signal here, but you can scan the code at the entrance to connect to the scenic area Wi-Fi. Tickets: PEN 20 for foreigners, PEN 15 for Peruvians. The ticket office only accepts cash.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had is going to Machu Picchu, Perú. High up in a mountain you’ll find an ancient native city, with one of the most charming views in the whole world.

🏞️[Machu Picchu Impressions] Machu Picchu, located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, is an ancient site of the Inca Empire. The city is perched on a cliff, shrouded in mist, as if suspended in the air, and is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦[Family Adventure] With our family, we embarked on a mysterious adventure here. The children were curious about the Inca civilization, while the adults explained the history and culture of the city. 🌄[Sunrise Experience] We made a point of arriving at Machu Picchu at sunrise, and the shock and beauty of the first rays of sunlight illuminating the ancient city is unforgettable. The ancient city ruins in the sunlight are even more majestic and mysterious. 📿[Inca Civilization] At Machu Picchu, we visited the ruins of the city's palaces, temples, and residences. The precise splicing and exquisite craftsmanship of these stone buildings demonstrate the wisdom and skills of the Incas. 📸[Photo Opportunities] Every corner of Machu Picchu is a great place to take pictures. We left many wonderful memories here, especially those with the ancient city ruins and the Andes Mountains. 🍲[Local Cuisine] In Peru, we tasted Peruvian specialties such as ceviche and roasted guinea pig, each bite a deep experience of Peruvian flavors. 📝[Travel Tips] • Book tickets in advance, as Machu Picchu limits the number of visitors per day. • Wear comfortable hiking shoes, as you will need to hike up the mountain. • Prepare sunscreen, a sun hat, and plenty of water, as the altitude is high and the UV rays are strong. • Respect the local culture and customs, and do not touch or damage the ruins. • If possible, choose to stay at a hotel near Machu Picchu for a better view of the sunrise and sunset.
