The city of Cuzco

Where Inca construction is found along with colonial buildings in an Andean baroque style, is undoubtedly one of the most important tourist destinations in the world.  All along the Sacred Valley of the Incas, only an hour away, our visitors can see the majesty of this empire.  In Ollantaytambo, one can see the different manifestations of Inca architectonic art, culture and cosmology.  Its main attractions are the Ollantaytambo temple, the Inca town, the great Pacaritanpu Pyramid, the Condor temple, the profile of Tunupa, Fort Pumamarca, the Muskapuquio agricultural terraces and the site museum.

Ollantaytambo

one of the most impressive architectonic complexes of the Inca Empire, was an important administrative center that probably also served military purposes, as evidenced by its walls and towers.  Additionally, there are remains of ancient roads and aqueducts that, together with the architectonic structure, make it one of the most amazing works built by the Incas.  Currently, it is a “tambo” or refuge located in a strategic place in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, whose residents maintain the traditions and customs of their ancient civilization.
