Ancient View

An intact ancient Inca town, Ollantaytambo, contains dwellings created by the Inca that continue as residences today. Militarily, it was the site of an epic battle and Inca resistance against the invasion by the Spanish Conquistador Pizarro and his men. Religious temples, agricultural terracing, irrigation systems and rock quarries are still intact. This view from the town site looks up towards ruins, and Peruvian Andes.
