Welcome to the Sacred Valley of the Inkas!
We will be based here in Ollantaytambo most of the week. This day is free for you to relax, settle in and wander around. There are hidden sights very close-by as well as trails up the sacred mountain Pinkuylluna that over looks the town. To the left of the square is the only living Inka village with cobbled streets and water channels. You are free to get lunch and dinner when you wish from the many local restaurants, you can get a massage, buy a hat and poncho or simply enjoy the hotels beautiful garden.
