The first stop in Peru, Ollantaytambo is a small town nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley. Flanked by snow-dolloped mountains and perched along the Urubamba River, the town is about 9,000 feet above sea level and is home to nearly 10,000 inhabitants. It’s known for its vast Inca fortress and large stone terraces that cascade down the hillside.
We had peeked out of a tiny pizza shop when we heard trumpets and drums and immediately spotted these women and young children parading as part of a Pentecost celebration.
