Ollantaytambo has some of the oldest continuously-occupied buildings in South America. Once a stronghold of Inca resistance to Spanish colonization, it's remarkably well-preserved. Many travelers visit Ollantaytambo because it's the beginning of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, but don't rush through—the ruins are fascinating.

Welcome to Misha Wasi We love art, creativity and everything that is done with hands and hearts. We are a space that exhibits the creative work of artists, craftsmen and creators of the Sacred Valley, Peru and other corners of the world. We also offer natural and organic products, super Andean foods and beauty products. Our purpose is for the beauty of the natural, the mixtures, the colors, the simplicity thus creating a bohemian style, simple, free and beautiful in each of our pieces. Our project also seeks to promote and make known the ancient textile art made with natural fibers by the women of the area, thus weaving a bridge between the traditional and the modern, between the ancestral and our present. We work with women from the Andean communities, creating a bridge between tourism and these communities, generating income for women and their families. We invite you to visit and enjoy this beautiful store in Ollantaytambo Thank you for visiting and supporting our project!

ALQA is an art gallery focused on the conservation and dissemination of the traditional artistic expressions of the indigenous high andean communities. Our work not only represents an exquisite curation, but also a meticulous research that allows, through a considerable historical and social burden, to create a chain of relationships between all the pieces on exhibition, allowing the recontextualization and recovery of them in order to reinforce and place value on the cultural identity of the artists and their communities of origin.
You've got to check out ALQA Gallery if you're in Ollantaytambo! The staff there is so very friendly. The vibe is chill, no one is there to push any sales on you. They have beer on tap to sip while you explore the wide variety of artwork and hand made goods sourced from Andean towns and villages located throughout the Sacred Valley. They have one of a kind photographic prints, sculptures, beautifully made hats and much more!

We sell authentic organic raw honey sourced in pesticide-free areas from isolated beekeeping communities at 4000 meters altitude in Cusco and around the Sacred Valley that are rich in native medicinal plants, flowers and trees. We work to provide a honey that is pure and that is a natural healing alternative. We are passionate about bees and conscious beekeeping.
Such a great shop in Ollantaytambo! Amazing honey!!! And a really wide selection. Loved it! Really interesting!
