Yucay is a village in Peru. The town is in a scenic valley and has many farming families. There is nothing to see or do in this town, but it can be a convenient base to make various short trips from. The salt mines at Maras or the Incan terraces at Moray can be visited from here. Ollantaytambo is a 45 minute drive away, from where, one can catch a train to Machu Picchu or visit the ruins of the Incan fortresses in town.
