View of Ollantaytambo through an ancient window, Incan stones framing the present day. As I stood there, in the mountain storehouses (I posted a photo of them some time ago), I thought the climb was really worth it!

From this vantage point, Ollantaytambo reveals itself as the underrated gem of Peru's Sacred Valley. Notice the remarkable Inca agricultural terraces on the opposite mountain and the stone qullqas (storehouses) cling to the cliff at my side. Below, terracotta rooftops of the modern town contrast with the ancient architectures.
