Peru's Sacred Valley
Ollantaytambo
Within this delightful settlement, nestled deep in the Valley before the arrival of Agua Calientes and Machu Picchu, find the charming Ollantaytambo Old Square, as well as a spectacular array of stunning Inca ruins. Surrounded by snowcapped mountains, Ollantaytambo boasts splendid scenery as well as the inspiring Inca stone Andenes, or agricultural terraces.
Adopted by the early Inca elite, Ollantaytambo hosts some of the Incas’ most intriguing feats of architecture including complex irrigation systems and an enamoring temple designed for worship and astronomical observation.
