Yucay
Yucay is situated between Urubamba and Calca in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It's about 45 minutes by car from Cusco, and being nearly 1000 meters lower in altitude, thre is more oxygen to breathe. This not-quite-discovered-yet village is an ideal place to get used to the altitude while visiting Ollantaytambo and other nearby archeological sites.I liked this town because people still smile and wave, unlike other more over-touristed places.
