Urubamba and its surroundings

Here's a picture of Urubamba - just behind the evergreen tree - from the nearby Pumahuanca trail. Even though it's winter in the southern hemisphere now, the valley is very green. It's not hard to imagine why the Incas called this the Valle Sagrado (Sacred Valley).

Here's an overhead picture of Urubamba from the opposite direction (the highway to Cusco).
