PMR106K-28 Peru, Cusco, Ollantaytambo: an Inca town (2792 metres a.s.l.) built by Pachacuti in the 15th century, which largely retains intact the original layout of roads and houses. Many houses are today occupied by descendants of the Incas. The cliff to the west of the town is terraced from top to bottom and could supply sufficient food for the whole population. Unlike most Inca terraces, these are built with cut and worked stones. Keywords: High Andes, Ullantaytampu, Urubamba Valley, Inca architecture, Qosqo, Cuzco

Peru, Cusco, Ollantaytambo: an Inca town (2792 metres a.s.l.) built

by Pachacuti in the 15th century, which largely retains intact the original layout of roads and houses. Many houses are today occupied by descendants of the Incas.

The cliff to the west of the town is terraced from top to bottom and could supply sufficient food for the whole population. Unlike most Inca terraces, these are built with cut and worked stones.
