Subjects :The Sacred Valley in Peru stretches between Calca, LaMay, Písac and Ollantaytambo on the banks of the Urubamba River. It is an amazing place for landscape photography, wildlife, but especially for travel reportage and street photography. Its small villages are inhabited by very simple and humble people. They are always available for the chatter and to be photographed even during their work. The valley is inside the Andean plateau in the area of Cusco, then as you take altitude you open the landscapes and the glimpses become increasingly immense. There are many species of animals such as Alpaca or Lama.
Recommended equipment :Focal-related to FF-travel Reportage: from 24mm to 50mm (it's nice to approach and get in touch with the locals) landscaping and wildlife: from 14mm to 1000mm the spaces can be very narrow in the squares of the Borghetti, but as you take altitude they come out The highest peaks of the Peruvian Andes behind the Cusco plateau.
Best months :The place is flooded with tourists at any time of the year. There is no preference (if not your personal) as the climate is definitely mild given its proximity to the equator.
How to get there :To access the Sacred Valley is necessary to reach the city of Cusco, also called the "Gateway to the Sacred Valley" precisely. Cusco is reachable by means of land (trains, coaches, cars to be rented) or of air. or directly from the capital Lima (on the Pacific coast) but watch out for the lack of oxygen. or by first accessing the southern part of the country, reaching Arequipa first and then going up to Cusco, always exploiting the means of land or air.
Visits :To visit the Sacred Valley and its most beautiful villages (Ollantaytambo-Pisac-Moray-Chinchero) You need to buy the tourist ticket in any travel agency in Cusco. Visit the site for more details based on the time you have available and the places you want to visit. There are different rates. But always contact a local agency, they are economical and very available (they live of that)
