Urubamba

Even further down the Valley, in the middle, one comes to the town of Urubamba which does have some small ruins, but is mainly a fast growing town that is the fork in the road between Ollantaytambo and Cusco and also Pisaq. This town has 4 schools, 2 main churches, lots of cafes, restaurants, and hotels, and a very cool pottery studio that is absolutely a must to visit. If you have a few hours take a break and walk this town - the main plaza is quaint, and off the main plaza there is a market, and further down, a peaceful tree lined street - Berriozabal Avenue - you will find a number of nice cafe restaurants and Seminarios - which is this pottery studio by a world famous potter whose works one can view on a tour of the studio. It’s a large outdoor indoor studio with museum qualities, and llamas and parrots on the grounds. Definitely worth a visit! Some nice cafes and restaurants here include Kaia (laid back, vegan, vegetarian, great sandwiches and desserts), El Eden (wonderful jams and baked goods), Pizza Wasi and Paca Paca (pizza), and El Huacatay, Hawa, Quanela, Wayra and Muna (all fairly upscale). This town is a great one to stay in as a base if one is visiting the Sacred Valley.
