Ollantaytambo is a quaint village located in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Nestled on the banks of the Urubamba River, Ollantaytambo is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and is home to the Ollantaytambo Incan ruin complex. Walking through the town centre itself is like stepping back in time to the Incan era, with its winding cobblestone streets and historic adobe buildings.
If you’re looking to visit the Sacred Valley, you have two different transfer options to get from Cusco airport to Ollantaytambo; taxi or bus.
