We used Ollantaytambo as the base for our 4-Days in Sacred Valley, before moving on to Agua Caliente and Machu Picchu. The Patacancha valley and Incan Ruins are truly a sight to behold. Altitude acclimation is key for everyone. We chose Ollantaytambo to acclimate and also to help boost one's endurance for climbing stairs at high altitude. Highly recommend others to leverage both the cute rustic town and the ruins as the start of their Peru adventure. Once at the top of the ruins was awestruck at the size of some of the Incan carved BOULDER size rocks up there. Sources for the boulders are believed to have come from across the river, then somehow conveyed all the way up that hill!! One of the carved rocks had to be at least 12 ft long and how they carved out the notches still makes modern man scratch his head. You can better see in a travel video we made and posted on YouTube search TSSLKJK and look for yourself. This was our first ever trip to South America and it was fantastic being able to spend many days in Ollantaytambo.
