Travelling in the company of those we love....
'The last Inca stronghold', Ollantaytambo, Peru

Location: Ollantaytambo, Cuzco, Peru

An example of imressive stonework - this doorway is part of the temple at Ollantaytambo.

Ollantaytambo was the last refuge of the Incas in the Urubamba valley.

Although originally a temple, it became known by the invading Spaniards as a fortress after a relatively small number of Incas managed to repel an attack by Spanish cavalry.
