Make the Most of Your Ollantaytambo Stay

A living Inca city in the Sacred Valley

Ollantaytambo stands apart as the only continuously inhabited Inca settlement in Peru, where residents still live within stone structures built in the 13th century. Water rushes through ancient channels alongside cobblestone streets, while trapezoidal doorways frame views of the massive fortress rising above town. The Temple of the Sun dominates the terraced mountainside, its megalithic stones a testament to imperial engineering. This isn't a reconstructed site—it's a functioning town where traditional Andean life unfolds within an architectural masterpiece.

Strategic base for Sacred Valley exploration

The town serves as the primary rail departure point for Machu Picchu, making it an ideal base for travelers seeking both convenience and authenticity. El Albergue Restaurant offers farm-to-table dining at the train station, while Chuncho explores ancestral cuisine using native ingredients. Hikes to Pinkuylluna storehouses reward you with panoramic valley views, and the lesser-known Pumamarca ruins provide complete solitude. Day trips to Moray's agricultural terraces and Maras salt mines are easily arranged.

Timing your visit thoughtfully

Stay overnight to experience the town's dual nature—midday brings transit crowds, but early mornings and evenings return Ollantaytambo to its mystical essence. The compact layout makes walking the primary mode of transport, though reaching town requires a 90-minute drive from Cusco's airport.
