Ollantaytambo, located 2700 m above sea level, guards the secrets of how the Incas could move giant boulders from one mountain top to another or how they cut stones with laser-like precision. Together we will climb the 250 steps to find the main altar – the Temple of the Sun, one of the most impressive stone altars built in South America. Reach the top of the sacred city to behold breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and its venerated mountains – the Apus. We will learn about the local life back in the Inca days and how it compares to local life nowadays.
