After lunch, we will visit the architectural complex of Ollantaytambo, a living settlement built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it against possible invaders. We will have the opportunity to walk through its streets and get a clearer idea of what this military, religious, and cultural center was like during the Inca Empire.
