Pinkuyllvna

= Pinkuyllvna  = ​ Pinkuylluna is an archaeological site on a mountain in Peru located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, and Ollantaytambo District. It is between the rivers Patakancha and Willkanuta which is located northeast of Ollantaytambo. Like many small towns in Peru, Ollantaytambo was built around its Plaza de Armas. The old part of town is small, it’s only about eight blocks. The roads are cobblestone and the majority of the businesses and homes have foundations that date back to the Incas. Access to the ruins is hidden away within the maze of century old cobblestone The ruins of Pinkuylluna are not well kept and in some parts it doesn’t look like a trail. It is extremely narrow and despite it’s position high above Ollantaytambo your don't realize how small you are until you see how tall the wall stands. Hiking up the ruins of Pinkuylluna is completely free!
