Located approximately 60 kilometers from Cusco in the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo is a fascinating Inca village known for its impressive archaeological ruins and well-preserved architecture.
The town is one of the few that maintains the original layout of the Inca streets, with their typical stone blocks and water channels.
In addition to its rich history, Ollantaytambo offers stunning scenery, with imposing mountains all around.
The combination of culture, history and natural beauty makes Ollantaytambo a must-see place in Peru.
The ruins of Ollantaytambo are notable for their enormous cultivated terraces, which demonstrate the sophisticated agricultural engineering of the Incas.
The site is famous for the Temple of the Sun, a monumental structure with perfectly carved and positioned stones, which reveal the advanced knowledge that the Inca civilization had in architecture and astronomy. We also visit the Pinkuylluna archaeological site with its stunning views of Ollantaytambo, as well as a challenging hike to the Puerta del Sol, an enigmatic Inca gateway on the summit of one of the highest mountains in the region.
