They don't call it the Sacred Valley of the Incas for nothing! First off, it's the junction of a number of important rivers which makes it integral for fishing. After that, the soil in the valley is well suited for raising corn or, as the locals call it, maize.

The valley was revered by the ancient Inca for the above reasons, but was also popular with the Spanish conquerers. They liked it for the above reasons as well, but they also enjoyed the particularly beautiful weather. And when it's mid-last millennium, you can't just drive out of bad weather in your SUV, so, good weather meant more than just a nice day!
