Peru – Ollantaytambo Fortress Ruins
The valleys along Ollantaytambo are covered by an extensive set of agricultural terraces that permitted farming on otherwise unusable terrain; they also allowed the Incas to take advantage of the different ecological zones created by variations in altitude. Terraces at Ollantaytambo were built to a higher standard than common Inca agricultural terraces, for instance, they have higher walls made of cut stones instead of rough field stones.
I really wish I was able to see this when I stayed in Ollantaytambo. Thanks to Taca/Avianca’s cancelled flights last weekend I lost the days of my trip that I was going to explore Sacred Valley 😦 Thanks for letting me live through your photos/experience!
So sorry that you had to miss the sights. Glad to share.
I was thankful it didn’t affect our Machu Picchu tickets though, could’ve been worse!
Maybe you can relive your Machu Picchu memories with my upcoming photos next week
I will!! Maybe ill have mine ready to post by then too!
