The annual maximum temperature varies from 20.4° to
26.6°C. The terrain is fairly jagged, with many gullies
and streams fed by glaciers which eventually pour into
the Urubamba river, which crosses the area forming a
deep valley which runs through the granite base of
Vilcabamba for more than 40 km through a variety of
eco-systems.
Landscape
The natural surroundings are impressive
and the balance achieved between nature and Inca
architecture is striking. The Vilcabamba mountain range boasts
peaks higher than 6,000 meters such as Salcantay and
Huamantay among others. The blend of mountains, jungles
and valleys create a fantasy world where the spectacular
dawn and sunset are shrouded in mystery.
