travel tips from blogs
In Ollantaytambo, HEARTS CAFE is a great place to eat (the 16 Soles Peruvian food menu is to die for). ANDEAN MOON (Calle del Medio, www.andeanmonnhostal.com) is a good place to stay and affordable (50 Soles for a double), unlike the highly over rated ...

Inca Trail and Mach Pichu
