made textiles, fresh fruits & vegetables. After a hour or so of mingling
with the locals you will proceed to have lunch at a local hacienda restaurant
in the Sacred Valley. Afterwards continue to Ollantaytambo and the oldest
continuously habituated town of the Inca. Here there are several structures
of importance to the Inca. At the top of the sixteen massive terraces are
the ever impressive ruins of Ollantaytambo Fortress where it is known the
Inca fought some of their strongest battles. The huge precisely carved
stones were transported somehow by hundreds of men down one mountain range
to the Ollantaytambo location and fitted perfectly to support a strategic
fortress that has bared the test of time. There is as well the "silos"
or grain mills that are directly adjacent to the fortress and were to have
maintained thousands of pounds of grain for the Inca and its people.You
will have time for some photos and additional shopping before your return
to Cuzco and your hotel in the early evening. ( L ) ( Tu. Th. & Su.)
