48 Hours in Ollantaytambo: Peru's Underrated City 🇵🇪

Goodbye Cusco, and hello Ollantaytambo! We are inching our way through the Sacred Valley to get closer and closer to the infamous Machu Picchu. We got to explore another collection of Incan ruins high up in the mountains, and then we got to join the local community for two sets of soccer matches on a Sunday afternoon. 🇵🇪

    For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

    Here is a nugget for you, that they will not tell you on the tour. The water channels in the hydraulic system, on the mountain top ruins, are all vitrified. The surface is a smooth as glass, and it is as water resistant as glass. An ordinary cut piece of stone, would have eroded to the point of disfunction by now, but as you have seen, it is all very much, up, running, and functional. The elder Peruvians, say this place was built, long before, the Inca ancestors saw this place, for the first time. Anyway, there is no evidence, that is conclusive, as to who had the ability, and when. I believe it at least, 5000 years old. That is another discussion though. I am glad you got see this place, and thank you for sharing your adventures, with us.

    Hi Chad and Claire, I watched your videos about Peru prior to my trip to Peru and used the information from it to schedule my route. I went to Ollantaytambo, Aguas Calientes, Cusco, Arequipa. I used the information about these 3 cities from your videos. I also watched your videos about other places in Peru (Titicaca, Puno) and thanks to your videos I decided not to go there. It was my decision. Thank you for creating these videos about Peru and other countries. It is valuable information. One minor comment: you might want to add the duration of the tours. For example, you went to see the Sacred Valley. How long did it take (2-3 hours or more)? The information about duration would help. Because I thought I need a whole day to visit a Sacred Valley but just half day was enough. However this is just a minor comment. Your videos are great anyways! :) Thank you very much!!!

    Coca leaves are part of the andean culture. It's a sacred plant. Never reject someone who gives you coca, you must always receive it and lend it with both hands.
