Discover Our Hotel in Ollantaytambo

Nestled in the heart of Peru’s Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo is one of the most remarkable and best-preserved Inca towns in South America. Surrounded by dramatic Andean peaks and ancient stone pathways, this historic village is widely known as the gateway to Machu Picchu and one of the best places to stay in the Sacred Valley.

Once home to Emperor Pachacútec — the visionary ruler who expanded the Inca Empire — and later to Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the resistance against the Spanish, Ollantaytambo is a destination where history is not just remembered, but experienced. Its impressive agricultural terraces, intricate water channels, massive stone constructions, and original urban layout make it a living example of advanced Inca engineering. Travelers heading to Machu Picchu often choose Ollantaytambo as their base, not only for its proximity to the train station but also for its authentic atmosphere and breathtaking scenery. From the steep stone steps known as the “Inca elevator, ” visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of the Sacred Valley — a landscape where culture and nature blend seamlessly. Beyond its archaeological significance, Ollantaytambo offers unforgettable outdoor experiences: hiking the Inca Trail, mountain biking through the valley, rafting along rushing rivers, and exploring one of the most scenic regions in Peru. Staying in Ollantaytambo means immersing yourself in history while enjoying comfort, accessibility, and direct access to Machu Picchu — making it the ideal starting point for your Andean adventure.
