Morning light breaks over terraced stone as the minibus winds from Cusco into the high-altitude bowl of the Sacred Valley. By mid-morning visitors reach Ollantaytambo, where stepped platforms climb the mountain face and the air carries the scent of earth and roasted corn. The fortress — less a single castle than a working complex of temples, baths and agricultural terraces — still hums with daily life in narrow alleyways inhabited since Inca times.
