Welcome to Urubamba
The Sacred Valley opens up around Urubamba, with terraced hillsides, Inca ruins, and the Urubamba River running through farmland that's been worked for centuries. It's a natural base for reaching Machu Picchu, and the trails, markets, and archaeological sites nearby fill days easily. Resorts in Urubamba are known for hacienda-style properties set against the valley landscape, where the altitude and surroundings make the experience feel unlike anywhere else in Peru.

Booking late isn't always predictable, but it can pay off. Some places discount their rates ahead of check-in to attract guests, especially during low season.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
If you can be flexible with your dates, compare different seasons or months to find cheap resorts in Urubamba. Midweek stays are often a little more affordable than weekends, so even a small tweak can make a real difference.

When to visit Urubamba
High and low season in Urubamba
The dry season, running roughly from May through October, is the most reliable time to visit Urubamba. Skies are generally clear, outdoor conditions are at their best, and the area around Urubamba is easy to explore. This is also the busiest period, so securing accommodation in advance is a practical step, especially if you're travelling during peak months like June, July, and August.
The wet season, from November through April, brings regular rainfall and can make some outdoor activities less predictable. On the upside, you'll find fewer visitors and a more relaxed atmosphere overall. Prices for accommodation can be lower during this period, and the landscape turns a deep, lush green. If light showers don't bother you, it can be a worthwhile time to visit.
Urubamba sits in the Sacred Valley, an area with a strong Andean cultural calendar. Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, is one of the most prominent celebrations in the region and takes place in late June. For community events, markets, and local activities closer to Urubamba itself, your accommodation or a local visitor information centre is a good starting point before your trip.
