ollyantatambo

Today we went to Ollyantatambo, a small town in the Sacred Valley.  It is in between Cusco and Machu Picchu and it is an adorable little town.  We did a phenomenal hike up to some Incan ruins called "Pinkuylluna." 













The walls of the Incan ruins were made of stones, but then covered in mud and straw...the mud and straw still cover the stone walls! 

Looking out over the view.





The market at Ollyantatambo.




The Incans constructed these waterways that flow all through the city.  It creates the most soothing, tranquil sound and keeps the city clean.  I loved it.
