About Urubamba:

Urubamba - gateway to Machu Picchu

Urubamba - gateway to Machu Picchu

Urubamba is a quaint town of roughly 18,000 people, although you wouldn’t know it by driving through. About an hour north of Cuzco, this small pueblo is a cultural hotspot, inhabited mainly by Quechua-speaking Peruvians. From the food to the dress, it is apparent that Urubambans continue to follow the traditions of their ancestors, and are always happy to tell you about their Incan heritage. Urubamba is situated on the bank of el Rio Vilcanota (also referred to as el Rio Urubamba). Although the water has been heavily contaminated in recent years, the town is cradled in the magnificent Andes and sits below the towering snowcapped Chicon Glacier which rests at about 15,000 feet. Areas of Urubamba to see are the cemetery and the very traditional pueblo within Urubamba called Chichubamba. To access the cemetery, walk toward the mountains on the main road until you reach the point just before it becomes a dirt road…the cemetery will be on your right. Once at the cemetery, ask locals how to get to the Inca Wall (a well preserved wall and series of small buildings from pre-Incan times).

This beautiful town is located 44 miles through Pisaq and at 37.4 miles through Chinchero, it has an altitude of 9420 feet above sea level.

The beautiful providence of Urubamba is located in the Herat of the Sacred Valley. It has the healthiest weather, in the rainy season, the production of fruits is very vast, and the conditions of its climate are so desirable that in the XVII century the naturalist Antonio de Leon said that it was a paradise from bible times.

In the city, close to the monumental church of San Francisco, you can find still the huge Inca platforms that one can still appreciate.

The town of Urubamba still has some places that are from the Pre-Hispanic era, that were used to build the colonial constructions. In the area of Pumahuanca in main valley, there is an archeological remain (platforms and rest of constructions).
