Ollantaytambo Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

In the mountains beyond Ollantaytambo is a small village called Huilloc where women weave colorful tapestries for their families and offer them for sale at a local cooperative. We joined several women for a few hours sitting on the grass with them as they wove and Jaime, our new guide, acted as interpreter of their Quechua and our English. Their...

Hey All So I have a lot of updates and some of them arn't the greatest, you'll understand in a few minutes. A couple of weeks ago I had my wallet stolen from the Awamaki textile store here in Ollantaytambo Peru. I lost the equivalent of $500 Canadian, my debit card, visa, tourist visa, all of my ids, and my passport. Not a good day to say the le...

Hey Guys

Im going to keep this one short but update you on my recent adventures. On Friday morning Jen and I headed to Cusco for the weekend. It was nice to have a weekend away and have a few more luxuries then we have here in Ollantaytambo, but at the same time we ended up missing Ollanta. Cusco is almost too much like home that it made ...

Our trek begins with a 5 am. wake-up call, a quick breakfast and, after our good-byes to Leslie and Ellen, we pile onto the mini-bus for the two hour drive to our departure point. Michelle, Chris and Zoe from England, who are part of another GAP tour following the same itinerary, are joining us, as are Katy and Charlotte, two university students...

Day 1 of our 5 Day / 4 Night Inka Trail adventure started with a 5am wakeup to meet our 12 fellow trekkers & 2 guides on a street corner in Cusco for a 3 hour bus ride to the trail head at Kilometre 82 on the rail track, the start of our trek. At the briefing the previous evening at SAS Travel we were introduced to our multinational group co...

To make things slightly cheaper we first took a ride to a halfway point, Ollantaytambo. We had no idea what a great idea this was to be. It gave us both a feel of true Peru and the real Inca deal. But first a tale of two buses. Mini bus one took us to Urubamba. This was a modern bus, costing tuppence, that took us slowly and carefully through an...

Tuesday 22nd July saw us make a very early start at 3.45 am with a text from England to say that Jamie had passed her Law exams - woohooo! What a clever girl - obviously takes after her dad!!! We were picked up at 5.30 am for a long coach drive to kilometre 82 and the start of the Inca Trail. Our group was merged with another from SAS Travel and...

You might have noticed that the last 3 map pins have all been Ollataytambo, but we have actually been moving - just this thing doesn't have all the campsites we staye in on it. So 30km walked, 15 to go. 9km today and 6km tomorrow before we make it to Machu Picchu. Day starts with all the porters being introduced to us, and us doing the same in r...

Arrived here around lunch time and got a room with nice views of the Inca ruins. Had a drink in the main square and a wandered round this pleasant little village in the afternoon. We went down to the train station to see how far it was to walk and were able to see the two types of train, Vistadome and cheapie backpacker to compare the two. Vista...

J'etais deja passee par cette petite ville avec Francois pour prendre le train et se rendre au Machu Picchu, mais cette fois-ci, j'ai pris le temps de visiter ce tres beau coin. Ca s'est fait en une journee. Alex et moi avions quitte tres tot le matin, apres la messe dans la Cathedrale a Cuzco. Nous avons pris un taxi pour se rendre et nous etio...
