The Region of Cusco includes the Amazon Plains and three Andean Mountain Ranges with important snowy peaks such as the Ausangate (Vilcanota Mountain Range), Salcantay (Vilcabamba Mountain Range), and Sahuasiray (Urubamba Mountain Range). The valleys of some of these mountain ranges are usually shaped by the 25 rivers running through the Region of Cusco. These mountains and rivers give life to these fertile valleys as well as an abundance of flora and fauna. The Region of Cusco is a great place to enjoy of beautiful landscapes while hiking from one Andean town to the next one or from one Inca site in the Andean Mountains to another Inca site in the High Jungle.
