Heading northwest from Cusco our overland journey took us through the western side of the Urubamba Valley, popularly called "the Sacred Valley". Our quest was to cross the glacial mountains of the Vilcabamba Range on the far side of the valley before dark so that we can enjoy the spectacular mountain vistas.
