Ollantaytambo

And the last set of ruins were at Ollantaytambo, a really touristy little village but beautiful and charming all the same. The ruins here are of a fortress in which one of the last Inca rulers succeeded in holding out against the Spanish before retreating to another fortress further in the jungle. The ruins in the second photo really reminded me of Lord of the Rings (The Two Towers). Yes, this is the second reference to Lord of the Rings so far and I am indeed a huge nerd. I embrace my nerdiness!
