This Inca Town is Still Inhabited—Here's How They Live on 500-Year-Old Streets

Wake up inside a lodge in Ollantaytambo, one of the last remaining living towns built on original Inca foundations.
In this video, we explore the town of Ollantaytambo beyond the archaeological site—from breathtaking morning views of the ruins to narrow stone streets, ancient water canals, and the Plaza de Armas. Unlike many historic places, Ollantaytambo is still inhabited, with Inca engineering and urban design woven into everyday life.
This is a quiet, immersive walk through a town where history continues to flow—literally—through centuries-old canals still in use today. Please hit like and subscribe, and check out my other content!
