    Ollantaytambo is a town and an Inca archaeological site in southern Peru some 60 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco. It is located at an altitude of 2,792 meters (9,160 feet) above sea level in the district of Ollantaytambo, province of Urubamba, Cusco region. During the Inca Empire, Ollantaytambo was the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti who conquered the region,[1]:73 built the town and a ceremonial center. At the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru it served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the Inca resistance.

      From the excavation sites you have a great view of the village of Ollantaytambo in the Urubamba Valley. The fertile alluvial fan of the Rio Patacancha, which flows into the Urubamba from a side valley, has always been used for agriculture. Potatoes, corn and barley are mainly grown.

        Around 72 km from Cusco lies Ollantaytambo, the last town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, often simply called Ollanta by the locals. The town lies at an altitude of around 2,792 m on the Urubamba River and has a special feature that makes it unique in Peru: parts of the old town date back to the Inca era and have survived the centuries relatively unscathed.
