The town plaza.



Another view. Note the structure on the hillside.



This is an ancient Inca food storage depot.



The town has narrow streets with water channels from the mountains.



It was built by the Inca and organized into compounds.



Some houses have the lucky symbol on the roof. This one has gone all out by adding moon, sun, star, ladder, and spear.



The fortress of Ollantaytambo that we did not visit.



Passing by a chicheria symbol.



Here we enter a traditional dwelling.



Guinea pigs in the kitchen, just like our guide said.



An altar of some kind. Note the skulls and the llama embryos.



Dried food and clothing.
