Ollantaytambo
It is a Peruvian town and Inca archaeological site located in the department of Cuzco, 90 kilometers from this city. It is a typical example of the extraordinary urban planning of the Incas. Its cobbled and winding streets, the ruins scattered in various places and its agricultural terraces, are attractions that stand out in their own right and can be appreciated in all their splendor. Currently it is an important tourist attraction due to its Inca constructions and for being one of the most common starting points of the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.

What to see in Ollantaytambo?
Ollantaytambo Fortress
It was a strategic military, religious and agricultural center that still dazzles with its stone platforms and its imposing buildings more than 4 meters high. This archaeological zone preserves its houses, streets and canals from the Tahuantinsuyo era. It is a place that envelops you with its magic and mystery. It is believed that it was a change of refuge for Inca royalty and nobility. It was built with huge rocks brought from a quarry 6 kilometers away, near the Urubamba River. To transport these stones, the Incas had to divert the entire water channel around them, in a masterful work of engineering and wisdom.
