Ollantaytambo

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.
