30 kilometres from Cusco is the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The day before we begin the four-day Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu our local guide takes us on a two-hour 'training' trek to the Intihuatana ruins above Pisac. High above the town on the mountainside is a suberb Inca fortress and group of temples. From Intihuatana a path leads around the hillside offering stunning views of the valley, terraces and Urubamba river below. The descent to the town involves over an hour of punishing steps, a taster of what's to come on the trail.
