Ollantaytambo

Ollantaytambo was amazing. Inca fortress and village, it was our first stop. This is the view from the street, can't really tell its there.

This is a blind guy at the entrance that was playing for tourist.





This is just an example of how skill full they were at carving rock.

You lose sight of the different levels at this angle.

With each new generation the work became lazy. There is one more style, the original style.

The Original style.

Can you imagine getting those carved stones up on top of this place? They used logs to roll them up.

This is where they placed their idols

This is how they got water through the place.

It was a long way down. Makes you wonder how they built this pathway on the side of a cliff.

A home that was built on the side of the mountain. The roof was redone but it was done the same way as the original.

In side the home looking up at the ceiling.

This is how they grounded wheat. Or crush what ever they wanted. This is inside the home.

This is at the bottom of the ruins.

This is the house we went through. It was literally on the side of the mountain.

Can you find the people at the top?

This is for the bigger Idols.

This is the Mountain across from Ollantaytambo.

This is looking at Ollantaytambo

That Line in the side of the mountain is the Inca trail that leads to Machu Picchu

This is what the material looked like up close.
