After Climbing over Machu Picchu all day and suffering from the altitude I stayed and the checkpoint where you sihn in to walk to the bridge and enjoyed the sunshine, but my Wife walked there on her own and the pictures she took were stunning, wish I had manned up and walked there now! Its amazing how these timbers have... More

Only about a half mile, but what a hike. No guard rails and straight down. Grow a pair and don't miss this!

Absolutely make sure you take the train from Ollantaytambo and not from Cusco. This is a town that should be stopped in at least one way. The town itself seems to still be in Incan times with the small cobbled streets and amazing feel. The ruins here are also breathtaking (literally) as you climb the steep steps of one of... More

The pueblo of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley is in some ways an equivalent experience to the fabled Macchu Picchu. The Inca bridge and the marvellous ruins make up a sight that justifies a days exploration. Most people do a bus tour from Cuzco so all the buses end up here in the afternoon making it very crowded.

We visited the lower part of Ollantatambo in the afternoon after spending the morning at teh ruins of Pisac. We were too tired to walk up to the top but we thoroughly enjoyed visiting the lower part and learn about the Inca architecture. Recommend it highl.

The ruins of Ollantaytambo were the first I've ever seen in my life. We were overwhelmed by the greatness, the hight, ... We visited the ruins from two sides. The view from the top makes you wonder how they build this hundreds of years ago.

If the trains to Machu Picchu from Cuzco are booked, you can always take the train from here. Yes, you need to get a taxi from Cuzco, but the cost is not that great and you get another attraction to visit. As others have described, the trail here is steep but well worth it. When you get to the top,... More

Soler who is presenting and selling very fine ceramics using local clay and hand burnishing. The pieces are original and contemporary. Soler also taught his technique to two other artists in the village and they also are presenting... More
