Mysterious Faces and Granaries at Ollantaytambo - Cusco, Peru
Visit to check out great information about mysterious and fantastic places on earth.
Two mysterious faces can be seen from the Ollantaytambo fort. These are huge faces which are naturally formed on the mountain opposite to the fort. However, the Incas carved the eyes and some rough features into them to give meaning to them. One of them is Viracocha or Tunupa, the God of creation. Experts don't agree on who the other face represents. Also, you can see plenty of granaries built on the mountains. They were used to store grains (duh) .

Maras Salt Mines & Moray Ruins // Cusco Sacred Valley ATV Tour: Peru Day 8
It's my last day in Peru and it also happens to be my BIRTHDAY! What better way to celebrate and to also get one last look at Cusco, then to take an ATV Tour?!?!
I booked an ATV Tour of the Cusco Sacred Valley through Haku Travel before heading to Peru. The tour company picked me up from my hotel in downtown Cusco, and then we headed about 50 kilometers north into the Sacred Valley. Our first stop in the Sacred Valley was to the Maras Salt Mines! The Maras Salt Mines are actually pools of salt water that evaporate in the Peruvian sun and the result is fresh salt!
After we sampled delicious salted chocolate at the Maras Salt Mines, we then hopped on ATV bikes and explored the Sacred Valley at top speed! We visited the Moray ruins and learned about the ancient Peruvian agricultural system at Moray.
Then we sped through puddles with the Sacred Valley's beautiful hills and fields as the perfect backdrop to conclude our tour.
Before catching my flight out of Peru I headed over to an Italian restaurant, where I received an unexpected birthday gift.
Come along with me as I celebrate my birthday Peru style!

PeruRail Trem Expedition - Machu Picchu Pueblo à Ollantaytambo / Cusco
Um video rápido mostrando a viagem de trem que fiz, trajeto de Machu Picchu até a cidade de Cusco.
Peguei o trem na parte da tarde depois que visitei o sítio arqueológico Machu Picchu pela manhã.
Caso queira saber sobre os preços, reservas, categorias de trem, veja no meu video anterior que fiz no trajeto Cusco para Machu Picchu.
Conforme comentei anteriormente, na volta escolhi a opção mais barata sendo a categoria Expedition.
Se vocês ainda não viram o video anterior, havia vindo para Machu Picchu na classe intermediária, a Vistadome.
A diferença entre as duas é que na Expedition, a mais barata, não possui ar condicionado. Somente a ventilação das janelas, eles não oferecem lanches ou bebidas, você terá que comprar dentro dos vagões.
Mas recomendo antes de embarcar, passar num mercado e comprar lanches e bebidas para consumir dentro do trem, sai mais barato.
Outro detalhe é que a área envidraçada é um pouco menor, pois as colunas do trem, ao invés de terem janelas, é apenas forrado em madeira.
A Expedition pelo menos possuía o teto envidraçado, o que não prejudica em nada a visibilidade.
Um outra dica que esqueci de comentar no meu video anterior, é que na ida para Machu Picchu, recomento escolher os assentos do lado esquerdo do trem.
E na volta para Cusco, escolha os assentos do lado direito. Assim terá uma melhor vista durante a viagem, contornando o trem.
No geral, achei o espaço um pouco melhor e maior do que a classe intermediária Vistadome, apenas a minha impressão.
Gostei do atendimento da cabine, no vagões. Mas o único porém são preços elevados do trem, mas vale a pena a experiência.
Fique com o restinho do video. Espero que gostem do video, curta e se inscreva no canal.
Valeu!

The Sacred Valley of the Incas | Peru Travel Vlog 2019 | Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Maras, Moray
The Sacred Valley of the Incas | Peru Travel 2019 | Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Maras, Moray ✈️ From Lima we flew to Cusco and took a transport down to Urubamba in the Sacred Valley. We had no organized tours arranged because we were unsure how we'd react to the high altitude and wanted to have flexibility and allow time to adjust. Once we arrived we felt great and ready to explore, so we used the local mini taxis for short trips around Urubamba. We also negotiated a tour around the Sacred Valley with a regular taxi driver. At our request, he took us to Ollantaytambo, Maras, and Moray, and even recommended a wonderful place for lunch. We loved the Sacred Valley. What a beautiful place! ✈️ #SacredValley #Peru #Urubamba #blacktravel #couplestravel

Ollantaytambo Tour in the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Peru
The sixth day of my South American trip.
Today was spent on a bus tour around the Sacred Valley in Cusco, Peru.
Ollantaytambo is a town and an Inca archaeological site in southern Peru some 60 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco. It is located at an altitude of 2,792 meters (9,160 feet) above sea level in the district of Ollantaytambo, province of Urubamba, Cusco region. During the Inca Empire, Ollantaytambo was the royal estate of Emperor Pachacuti who conquered the region, built the town and a ceremonial center. At the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru it served as a stronghold for Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the Inca resistance. Nowadays it is an important tourist attraction on account of its Inca buildings and as one of the most common starting points for the three-day, four-night hike known as the Inca Trail.

Beyond Machu Picchu. The Sacred Valley of Peru: Cuzco, Urubama, Ollantaytambo, Pisac.
Visitors of Machu Picchu often overlook the cute and charming historic villages in Sacred Valley. This vlog is about my visits to these villages.
I decided to spend my first night in a small village named Ollantaytambo because it would help reduce the high altitude sickness (compared to Cuzco, which is at a much higher elevation) and it's much more affordable in terms of lodging than Cuzco (Cusco). There are plenty of decent accommodations in Ollantaytambo. Also, catching a train to Agua Caliente (a town at the base of Machu Picchu) would be less expensive from here. This is particularly true if you use colectivo to travel from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo.
** CORRECTIONS to typos in the video: 1- Collectivo should be Colectivo.
2- Capella Lodge should be Capilla Lodge
Colectivo is a shared taxi that costs a fraction of regular taxi fare, especially for long distance. This is how the locals travel. There's no set schedule for departure. The colectivo would depart when the number of passengers reaches to a go-point (usually means when the vehicle reaches its capacity). The station for Cusco-Ollantaytambo is located at the corner of Calle Pavitos and Av Grau.
More travel tips...
1. If you want to save some money and know what you're doing, catch a taxi parked outside of the airport's parking lot, instead of ones that park along the curb right outside of the arrival gate.
2. Almost all hotels offer free cocoa tea (in dried leaves form). Take advantage of it. It may help your body to cope with the high altitude sickness. But remember not to overdo it because the high dose of this stuff is considered as 'narcotic' in the US, and thus, is illegal. So, don't even bother packing kilos of them home unless you want to get to know the DEA up close and personal.
3. Most motorcarros in Peru do not have smog control. That means air pollution can be a problem if you are sensitive to exhaust fumes. Pack a breathing mask (like ones used for bike riding) if you're uncomfortable to exhaust fumes.
4. Ollantaytambo's power often goes down when it rains in the evening for a short duration (about 20 minutes or so). Carrying a flashlight (one on your smart phone would do) could save you some hassles. During the power failure, which happens frequently, ATM machines in town would also quit working.
5. I found independent travel to be the best way to see more of the Sacred Valley. Group tours don't work for me. You can hire a taxi from Cuzco's main square for about US$30 for the day. That includes the driver and the vehicle itself. You can go anywhere that's the drive agrees to take you in or outside of Cuzco. Note: Quoted price is for the date of own travel.
6. From Ollantaytambo you can catch a train to Agua Caliente. This is the train terminal for Machu Picchu. To get to Machu Picchu, you'll have to purchase a separate bus ticket. Staying overnight in Agua Caliente is recommended if you don't want to rush your visit to Machu Picchu. There's a French bakery named La Boulangerie de Paris, located near the Agua Caliente train station that serves great French pastries. They open quite early in the morning. It's owned by a French lady who lives up to the great tradition of French bakery!
Bon Voyage!

Book your Sacred Valley Tour Online:
Overview
The tour to the Sacred Valley is one of the most top tours in the region. The Sacred Valley of the Incas used to be a fundamental location for the Inca empire and functioned as an agricultural, religious and political center for them.
Throughout its extension, there are many Inca and Pre-Inca buildings that can be observed and the tour to the Sacred Valley visits the two most important sites, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. During a full day, you will admire the brilliant craftsmanship that the Incas produced and see the stunning landscapes of the Sacred Valley.
Many peolple like to do this tour just before their tour to Machu Picchu, since they can choose to end up in Ollantaytambo from where people take the train to Aguas Calientes (the town Close to Machu Picchu).
“If you are in Cusco, do not pass over the Sacred Valley, the altitude is lower than the Cusco and can help you with acclimatization. A day tour can cover a lot of places of interest, the principal and surprising is Ollantaytambo, a big fortress on a hill, that will impress you by its dimension of construction, and that will also give you a time to go to the town.
The valley is very green and fertile with the river of Vilcanota that runs through, and you can even stop for a while to drink a purple chicha (a fermented drink of purple corn) on the way you back to Cusco. “
