These are ruins, up close. Interesting that these are the ruins of homes. Some of the rooms didn't have doors....
A CAVE! We couldn't get very far inside, which was good, because I was starting to get freaked out at this point... Couldn't blow my cool, but I did climb out fast as possible.
Me and my roommate, Amanda. We were the slow pokes of the group for real!
Here is the market and Ruins you pay for.
These are the ruins we scaled a mountain to check out. It was an awesome hike and a chill moment on the side of a mountain. One of the people in our group brought his Ipod, so we enjoyed a soundtrack with our meditative moment.
Here are the ruinas gratis! (Free Ruins) of Ollantaytambo. These were houses for Inca. Below is the Plaza of Ollantaytambo.
I am Queen of the Andes! Recognize.
The entire time we were here, the clouds were on the mountains, it was so beautiful. And this is a lower elevation than Cusco. Ollantaytambo is en route to Machupicchu. There were always bus tours stopping in the Plaza with tourists going to the Ruins you pay for, I'm sure they were on their way to the Mac daddy of Inca awesomeness ruin-style.
This tiny van is called a combi. About 15 people will get crammed into this bad boy without shocks, it's madness! This particular combi had it's tranny drop on our way out of Ollantaytambo, so we had a second to run and and catch this other bus, it was so fabulously Peruvian.
