The Sacred Valley, as it is called, is the route of buses and trains headed to Machu Picchu. We spent a few hours in the ruins of Ollantaytambo and then rode the train on to Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu Village.

| Misty afternoon at Ollantaytambo, last stand of the Incas against the Spanish |
 |
| Looking down on the modern town |
 |
| Niches (possibly altars or tombs) and a doorway |
 |
| Terraces |
 |
| Ingenious! |
 |
| We found out later that this might have been a tomb. Elisa felt extremely disrespectful. |
 |
| VISTADOME! |
 |
| Living in luxury. With coffee. |
 |
| The river in Aguas Calientes |
 |
| Whoa. |
 |
| A celebratory, pre-Machu Picchu feast. So much delicious food. |
