We found a taxi/van that would take us to Ollantaytambo only a few blocks from our hostel. As we left the Cuzco we can see the Andes looming over the horizon, which reminded me of the San Juans in southern Colorado. After passing many small towns we eventually dropped down into the sacred valley where one could see the Urubamba river. Following the river we started to see more and more of the Incan ruins dotting the hillsides. About two hours after leaving Cuzco we arrived in mountain town of Ollantaytambo.
