Written By Daniel Korzeniewski

The region of the Sacred Valley is truly amazing. There are so many things to do and see, but besides the wonderful vistas and landscapes, this is a place with incredibly warm and welcoming people, diverse and rich in cultural traditions.

Over the few days I spent wandering the area I not only photographed the beauty of the citadels and landscape but also the Sacred Valley’s people. Here are some of my favorite portraits.
