Templo del Sol

I ended up staying on Ollantaytambo last minute and wouldn’t have it any other way. The engineering behind these structures is mind boggling. The whole area and town are beautiful, and the view from the top is a must see.

Worthy of seeing but very busy in the afternoon as visited by tourist groups heading to Machu Picchu and taking the evening train to Aguas Calientes.

Great place to visit while in ollantaytambo. Our tour guide from Heidi travels was very good and explained the significance to great extent. It takes around 2 hours to visit entire site. Views are amazing from the sun temple and the stones at the top are awesome.

Amazing views of the town and the valley. Awesome stoneworks -- it's difficult to comprehend the effort and techniques involved in creating this place with 14th century technology.

Great architecture. Moving and preparing the stone to fit seamless... Amazing. We would fail to do so...

Gorgeous view from above. Our guide mentioned March is the best time to visit as the mountains turns green and colorful because of the rain. The top of the temple offers gorgeous views. It may seem intimidating at first but it’s not a bad climb. Take frequent break and hug the wall to avoid the sun. The view is worth it!

Pretty nice the whole side's great a lot of walking uphill though put your sunscreen on and be ready to walk

The Sun Temple in Ollaytambo -- The pink granite was brought from the stone quarry located about 4 km far away, on the other side of the Sacred Valley. From the entrance, there are 150 steps to get to the Sun Temple. If you go early, you can experience the soft wind and the sun when touches gently the temple.

Very beautiful temple! Easy hike!

Ollantaytambo was one of my favorite places that we visited while in Peru. The structures are incredibly impressive and they surround the entire area. We took a guided tour and heard a ton about the history which was super interesting. Make sure you go enough before dusk that you have plenty of time, cause they shut the place down when it starts getting dark. Tons of stairs. Pace yourself and take breaks when needed.

Amazing place.
And I love the sun-god. He is so bright!

The best, I would live there

Nice place to visit. It was a work in progress and never finished. Learned other things that you don't get in completed structures

It's beautiful to see it

Beautiful sun temple. Nice view of the river to machu pichu

Amazing views and great hike had close up with the alpacas that roam the ground. Great for pics definitely recommend.

Amazing historical site, be sure to do this with a guide to tell you about its significance and importance during Inca times. The climb is grand (not too tiring) looks alone worse from the starting point. My favorite part of the sacred valley tour. Also a variety of markets near the entrance to buy souvenirs etc

Amazing place.

Fabulous example of a inca site not finished

Amazing place... how do they climb carrying that heavy stones!?
