Lost Inca City: Ollantaytambo Peru 🇵🇪
■ PERU, SACRED VALLEY: Ollantaytambo was an important gateway city to Machu Picchu even 600 years ago. Today tourists pass through this town either by rail or road to the world famous Inca ruins. But this city have some pretty impressive ruins dating back to the heyday of the Inca empire as well.
Due to her strategic significance the city contained a fort which along with some agricultural terraces can be seen up close even today. Naturally this was something I had to investigate.

Imagine Emperor Manco Capac riding his white horse on the Fortress extolling his warriors on against the Spanish. Ollantaytambo was the last battle the Inca won. Manco Capac retreated to Villcabamba from here, was eventually hunted down, and murdered.

@@Africanvillagetee The fall of Manco Capac is a heartbreaking story. He and his wife were hounded from Villcabamba, betrayed by Spanish who had killed Francisco Pizzaro and were hiding under the protection of the Inca Emperor. His wife (also his sister) was stolen, raped and murdered by the Spanish. Her body was placed in a basket and sent down the river. To be found by the Emperor. Manco Capac was eventually discovered hiding around a dismal campfire in the jungle to be tortured and assassinated.

Peru has an unbelivable amount of ruins. If you go to the coast, you can see pyramids and cities of the Moche and Chimu cultures, as well as the Nazca. There's also the 4,000 year old Norte Chico civilization, the oldest in the Americas. Their hub is the city of Caral, which lies in the Supe Valley (Supe, Barranca Province).
I love how Harald is complaining about the food in Peru when I have seen him eat very little REAL Peruvian food. You are missing out my friend.. Lomo saltado, Chupe de mariscos arroz chaufa, picarones. Peru is actualy considered one of the most gastronomic countries in South america.

Hi Harald, the food thing interesting in Peru, since it is now one of the leading countries in fine dining, but in terms of local, traditional food, it can be pretty tricky. My suggestion is to stay away from international cuisine there (pizzas, pastas, etc) and look for some local plates, like lomo saltado (steak strips with fried potato and rice, which can be really delicious) 🙂

At Tambo Colorado, which I keep going on about, we learned that the Inca would have his dwelling in the largest part at the top, and the society would all live in a room per family, with the more important people having a larger room. They had a communal hall to eat in, as we northern Europeans did.
So much labor moving and building with stones. Must have taken them decades or ongoing 100s of years.

Harald: do you speak English? Horse: ............ 🤪
These Peru escapades have been quite exceptional. I get the feeling that you never rest on your laurels when you visit any country. The work is always informative about the history of the places you visit and about the people who dwell there. Mix this in with the randomness of unplanned happenings and you have the makings of great video content. I also prefer the longer format videos that you do. It’s all subjective but I think 10-20 minute videos, never quite take you “into the place” one visits...or the people one meets along the way. I appreciate that you allow your videos to breathe and slowly stew. I got to be honest with you Harold. It took me a while for me to get used to your humour and your general personality. At first I thought you quite cold but first impressions can be deceiving. The coldness was in fact a wonderfully dry sense of humour...a chilled way of being relatable to the people you meet. I never get the feeling you are being a false version of yourself. I never get the feeling you are a performing Monkey for the camera either.😂...and anyone who wants to do what you do should be inspired by that. You genuinely care about the people and the animals you meet👌. The Cat vlog was a perfect example of improvised, unplanned footage...and you tail end that video(pun intended)...with this video. Just simple natural interactions with life...the things you cannot write or for that matter quite prepare for. You are not afraid to be critical when needs be which is also important for an honest, constructive dialogue. Even so, your work still remains the “right side” of sensitive with respect to the cultures you encounter. Finally...I would love to see you do videos in England(Great Britain). Get your perspective on the many diverse places and cultures that our great country has to offer. Either way...Please keep up the brilliant work.x
Another great video. Thanks, Harald!

Can we just appreciate how this man gets content your everyday
The Coast - Megaliths stones are pre-inkas the ones on machu picchu and the smaller stones added by the Inca at a much later date, The Inca, though an incredibly advanced and sophisticated people did not have the technology to shape hard stone with such accuracy, and even their oral traditions speak of “those who came before.” and what you are looking at now are inca construction. La Costa Peruvian coastal waters teem with shimmering anchovy , sardines and caballa. Local fishermen haul in shrimp, tuna and shark by the boatload. Cuisine of the Cost region was especially influenced by the arrival of Japanese and Chinese settlers who introduced ginger and soy sauce and created new ways to prepare traditional Peruvian food like quinoa and cebiche. La Selva The jungles and rain forests of the La jungle region comprise more than half of Peru’s territory. La jungle is home to a diverse number of tropical fruits like lucuma, cocona and tasty treats like hearts of palm. Native Peruvians and adventurous visitors find the fist-sized local river snails to be quite delectible. La Sierra In the mountainous terrain of the Andes, you will find hearty people who prepare delectably meaty dishes like herb-marinated corazon skewered with sweet potatoes and grilled over an open fire. Alpaca and cuy, guinea pig are local meats that are definitely worth a try the next time you visit Peru. I am so glad you are in Peru Herald enjoy you trip
