The Sacred Valley hosted Infracon Peru 2026 from 14 to 16 October 2026 at the Plaza Yanahuara Convention Centre in Vidawasi, near Urubamba, Peru. The three-day infrastructure and construction fair brought together business leaders, investors and public-sector representatives at a venue surrounded by the Andean valley landscape.
Infracon Peru brought three days of talks to Vidawasi
Infracon Peru 2026 was organised by the National Society of Construction and Infrastructure. Its programme covered construction, infrastructure, mining, energy, tourism, technology and artificial intelligence, with keynote talks, specialist panels, business opportunities and technology displays.
The opening took place on 14 October 2026 at the Plaza Yanahuara Convention Centre in the Vidawasi health city. TV Peru reported the three-day programme, which also addressed sustainable infrastructure, investment mechanisms, energy transition, transport and connectivity. The event was linked to Vidawasi's social purpose, which includes work connected with childhood cancer.
Why the Sacred Valley setting matters to the fair
The Sacred Valley is the valley of the Urubamba River and includes the towns and archaeological areas of Maras, Moray, Pisac, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo. Peru's national tourism board describes the region as a landscape of archaeological sites, villages and agricultural fields beneath the Urubamba mountains.
That setting gives Infracon Peru a different context from a city convention venue. The fair placed discussions of transport, energy and tourism infrastructure beside a region whose visitor routes connect archaeological sites and communities. Peru Travel describes the valley as part of the route towards Machu Picchu, with Maras, Moray, Pisac, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo among its principal cultural locations.
Vidawasi connects Infracon Peru with a social mission
The choice of Vidawasi was not simply a matter of conference space. The Plaza Yanahuara site forms part of a health city in Urubamba, and the fair's stated social purpose was linked to the fight against childhood cancer. This made the venue part of the event's description rather than a separate attraction.
The fair also reflected the range of sectors shaping the valley's future visitor economy. Tourism appeared alongside transport, technology, energy and construction in the programme, while the surrounding landscape contains both living communities and major archaeological sites.
