Ollayantaytambo

Ollayantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. We stay a. It took here en route to the infamous MachuPicchu. Sunset is striking. Buildings in the hillside were graneries up high to allow winds to keep crops dry. Also guard houses. This was Manco Inka’s last stand against the Spanish in 1570’s. He fled into the Amazon where no one could find him or his men. He had actually won the battle but retreated in disgrace!
