Ollantaytambo Archeological Site

Hiking in the Footsteps of the Incas

"I arrived in Ollantaytambo to explore its extensive ruins perched on mountains above the Urubamba River; once a major Incan city, the ruins offer beautiful views of the valley and a taste of what’s to come on the hike—note my tip to arrive early to avoid afternoon crowds from Cusco and bring lots of sunscreen since there is virtually no shade." - Matthew Kepnes
