Famous for its stunning architecture, strategic significance, and fascinating history, this site offers a unique glimpse into the lives and culture of the Inca. From its meticulously constructed terraces to its role as a stronghold during the Spanish conquest, Ollantaytambo remains a vibrant link to a bygone era. While the Inca may have ultimately been defeated by the Conquistadors, Ollantaytambo remains as a symbol of Inca resistance against the colonial invaders.? </p>
