Ollyantatambo, Peru
On Christmas Day, 2005
Ollyantatambo stole my heart. It’s a true Inca town which has been able to maintain the small streets, water flows, and charm over hundreds of years. It is so quaint and delightful—I highly recommend it. Our tour guide took us to a traditional Inca home where the family raise cuy (guiena pigs) for food and had several altars to the gods. They even had the skull of a grandparent on display (!). You will feel like you’ve discovered something very special.
That said, there isn’t much going on, so I would only recommend a 1-night stay.
