http://www.shapironet.org/Peru2011/SacredValley.html Pisac: Precise stonework, possibly an Incan fortress Ollantaytambo: Site of a great battle between Manco Inca and the Spaniards, led by Hernando Pizarro. The town today has original Quechuan streets and houses, one of which we visited. Yucay: We stayed in the Posada del Inca in this small town, which had a festival that night. http://www.shapironet.org/Peru2011/SacredValley.html#0 1e01546d-4a70-4646-a9fd-cf23f36a02a4 http://www.shapironet.org/Peru2011/SacredValley_files/Media/DSC_0503/thumb.jpg http://www.shapironet.org/Peru2011/SacredValley_files/Media/DSC_0503/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
