The name has several approaches. According to the Aymara language, Ollantaytambo derives from ulla-nta-wi word, which means "place to see down"; the term tambo, is added later. For the Quechua language, the name comes from the word Ollanta (which is the name of an Inca captain whose story was saved as an oral tradition and written as drama by Antonio Valdez, a priest of Urubamba, the mid-eighteenth century) and the term, tambo, a Spanish derivation of the Quechua word tampu; which means "city that offers lodging, food and comfort to travelers" Ollantaytambo is another archaeological park which are attributed different functions. Because of its strategic location. Ollantaytambo was a military construction built to protect the Inca capital of possible Antis invasions. It is also said to have been built to enable paths to Antisuyo. It is one of the few cities that still maintains the Inca urban planning. The town was divided into rectangular blocks with a well planned geometric pattern that gives the impression of being a town designed by modern architects. His thin streets open towards the Urubamba River. Each apple or court is composed of a set of houses that share a door to the courtyard. #peruviansacred

Peruvian Sacred and Adventure’s main office is situated in the city of Cusco in the region of Cusco, Peru. It’s a great privilege and responsibility to be from Cusco and decedents of the Incan Empire; the most important civilization in South America. We have Machu Picchu which has always been the most well known Incan monument and recently named the fourth wonder of the world and today it is the most important tourist destination in Peru.
