The town most travelers rush through ended up being one of our favorite places in Peru. 🇵🇪

Most people only spend a few hours in Ollantaytambo before catching the train to Machu Picchu, but this charming town deserves so much more.

As the last living Inca city, Ollantaytambo is the only town in Peru where people still live within the original Inca street layout. Walking its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time.

We spent our first three nights here after flying into Cusco, and it was the perfect place to acclimate while exploring the Sacred Valley. We wandered the ancient streets, explored the incredible Inca ruins, and took day trips to Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, and Chinchero.

If you’re planning a trip to Peru, don’t make Ollantaytambo just a stop on the way to Machu Picchu.

Who else is craving salad? Preferably one served on a Greek island, far away from the current lettuce drama.
At this point, that alone might be worth the trip.
