    Tips

    April 22, 2024

    Ollantaytambo is the only town where you can still admire the town planning from Inca times. The narrow streets and alleys frame 15 square blocks that lead to a courtyard lined with houses. Many of them are made of the typical dark pink stone that was reserved for high nobles and priests.
    In the valleys and hills around the Urubamba and Patakancha rivers you can find many of the famous terraced fields of the Incas. This type of construction allowed the Incas to cultivate areas that would otherwise be uncultivable.
