ollantaytambo
During the Inca Empire, Pachacútec conquered the region and built the town and a ceremonial center. During the conquest, it served as a fort for Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the Inca resistance against the Spanish. Ollantaytambo has non-agricultural terraces (to prevent landslides), as at other archaeological sites in Cusco. Today, it is a major tourist attraction due to its Inca constructions and because it is one of the most common starting points on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
