“And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;”
At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea — the hurried departure communicates the urgency that the annunciation and the Elizabeth information has produced. At that time (en tais hēmerais tautais) places the visit in the immediate aftermath of the annunciation. The hill country of Judea is the general location for the priestly city where Zechariah and Elizabeth live — Jerusalem's surrounding region.
