Perusa explains: Ollantaytambo

Perusa explains

But hey, don't think it's all about stones! Ollantaytambo is actually like the supermarket of the Inca era. They stored all kinds of things here - corn, potatoes, even the first chocolate bars! Well, almost. When you walk there, you feel like you're walking through the living room of a very, very old grandpa, who has really tidied things up... even though he built everything out of stone.

And then there's this thing with old Ollanta. He was a guy who had a crush on the boss's daughter, the Sapa Inca. But you know what? His dad wasn't happy about it - like when you eat the last chocolate in the house and everyone is suddenly mad at you. Ollanta had to really fight, and in the end... well, happy ending, I think. Or not, depends on who you ask.

So yes, Ollantaytambo: stone fortress, love drama, and the place where the Incas got their snacks!
