*"Ollanta is the best surviving example of Inca city planning, with narrow cobblestone streets that have been continuously inhabited since the 13th century. It's perfect for wandering the mazy, narrow byways, past stone buildings and babbling irrigation channels, pretending you've stepped back in time" - Lonely Planet Peru (Travel Guide)
