Ollayantambo
Like Machu Picchu,
Ollayantambo is a former ancient city of the Incas. However, unlike
Machu Picchu, people still live there! It's really interesting to walk
from the ruins, into an ancient livable city. Below are some more
pictures.
The restored stairs are
dangerous enough at these ruins. Check out the old stairs!
A closer look at
Viracocha on the mountain.
Of all sites
around the world I have visited, I found the Peru ones to be the
easiest to get seriously hurt or worse! In so many places one is just
a slip on the rocks away from a 500 foot drop!
Below is a look
into the city. The guy on the right was given a lot of material goods
because his property was on the ancient site of Ollayantambo. However,
the man didn't want the western goods, and instead lives a low
maintenance lifestyle. For some reason, he was waving a Canadian flag
at me.
