After a refreshing night in the hotel in Cusco we drove down to the Sacred Valley where we explored ancient Pisaq up in the hills and enjoyed a long hike. After a lunch in what is currently Pisac we left for Ollantaytambo, another stop in the Sacred Valley. We happened to catch a Carnaval celebration in the town square before climbing Ollantaytambo, another example of Incan masonry. There in Ollantaytambo, we ended our day in a hostal with an amazing view, retiring early for our journey to Machu Picchu the following day.
