Join us on an unforgettable journey as we explore the Living Inca Village and Pinkuylluna Archaeological Site in the charming town of Ollantaytambo!

The adventure begins with pick-up between 8 or 9 in the morning, followed by a scenic hike through the captivating landscapes. Our first stop is the Templo del Sol (Temple of the Sun) Archaeological Site, a perfect moment to capture breathtaking photos. We continue our exploration with visits to the Templo de la Luna (Temple of the Moon) and the Templo del Cóndor (Temple of the Condor), both sacred places of Ollantaytambo. This section of the tour lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, allowing ample time to soak in the historical significance and natural beauty of the sites.

Next, we venture into the living Inca Village of Ollantaytambo, often referred to as a charming and enchanting town. Considered the last living Inca village, we have the unique opportunity to visit some of the remaining Inca houses where local residents still reside. Immerse yourself in their rich culture and traditions. As a highlight, we will indulge in a delightful typical lunch shared with the welcoming locals. Savor the flavors of traditional dishes, such as roasted Cuy (guinea pig), or choose from other options tailored to your preferences. This communal dining experience fosters a genuine connection with the local community.

After lunch, we will visit the “Ajawasi” or chicherías, where the renowned Inca beer made from fermented corn is prepared. Immerse yourself in this unforgettable experience before we set out to explore the sacred mountain of Pinkuylluna. This mystical mountain holds similar importance to Machu Picchu and is adorned with carvings of the revered Wiracocha or Tunupa. As we trek along ancient Inca paths, we will also encounter numerous granaries or colcas. Witness the awe-inspiring fortress or Temple of the Sun in Ollantaytambo, shaped like a majestic llama. This celestial llama, known as CATACHILLAY or the Sidereal Llama, played a vital role in Andean cosmology during the Inca era.

Our descent brings us back to the heart of the village, where we will witness the mesmerizing play of light and shadows. Explore Ollantaytambo, where the interplay of light reveals sacred Inca figures such as the puma and the Wiracocha. Look closely, and you will notice that the entire village is shaped like a corn cob, reflecting its deep connection to this revered crop. As the tour concludes, we will return to your hotel or our private lodge, Vertical Sky Suites, with cherished memories of this extraordinary experience.
