THE RESCUE CENTRE
Where is the rescue centre?
The rescue centre is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Peru), in the city of Urubamba which is the largest town in the Sacred Valley. It is also located near some significant ruins of the Inca Empire, including Machu Picchu.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas (Spanish: Valle Sagrado de los Incas; Quechua: Willka Qhichwa) or the Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes of Peru, 20 kilometres (12 mi) at its closest north of the Inca capital of Cusco. The valley, generally running west to east, is understood to include everything along the Urubamba River between the town and Inca ruins at Písac westward to Machu Picchu, 100 kilometres (62 mi) distant.
