Ollantaytambo Town

Most travelers use this town as a stop to catch the train, but it is worth a walk around. It is called the “Living Inca City” because the street layout has not changed in 500 years. You will walk on narrow cobblestone paths where original stone water channels still carry mountain water today.

The town sits at about 2,792 meters. You can visit the massive stone fortress or look up at the ancient storehouses built into the cliffs. It is easy to navigate on foot and has many small restaurants near the main square.
