We drove from Cusco to the city of Urubamba through the Sacred Valley.  It was a very nice drive.  Our first real view of the land of Peru.  We spent two nights in Urubamba.  We visited temples, went on a rafting trip on the Urubamba River, visited markets, and got our first experience on how persistent the souvenir sales people can be.
