Sacred Valley- Ruins of Ollantaytambo


Ok, so after the amazing, tiring Machu Picchu, Erin and I made our way through the Sacred Valley. An area filled, to the brim, with Inca Ruins. We stopped in a few small towns for meals, sight seeing and resting. Our first stop was the town of Ollantaytambo (say that 5 times fast!). We dropped our bags, and headed to the ruins. Who do we think we are! We´ve been hiking up stairs for 2 days strait! OUCH! is all i had to say when i looked up at the ruins of Ollantaytambo. But seeing this amazing Inca ruin, and the fact that the sun was shining, and my legs basically felt dead anyways, i had no problem exploring the ruins, which were a smaller outpost for Machu Picchu, and also a military stronghold.
