| Overview | [ Top ] | [ Bottom ] |
 | We wanted to create a unique house who can offer every traveller´s dream : one that’s cozy, comfortable ,a place with services of the highest level, but that does not overcharge. Basically, just capture that special atmosphere everybody looks for in a hostel. | | After more than 5 years in operation, over hundreds recomendations to open more hostel like the original in Arequipa. So, we did it !!! | | Whether just passing through or taking a few days to explore the Highland scenery our promise of good food and a high standard of cleanliness will make your stay in Ollantaytambo more enjoyable. |

ABOUT OLLANTAYTAMBO
Ollantaytambo is an attractive little town located at the western end of the Sacred Valley (about two and half hours by bus from Cusco). The town has been built on top of original Inca foundations and is the best surviving example of Inca town planning. The town is divided in canchas (blocks) which are almost entirely intact. Each cancha has only one entrance (usually a huge stone doorway) which leads into a central courtyard. The houses surround the courtyard. Good examples of this construction can be found behind the main plaza.
The town is located at the foot of some spectacular Inca ruins (entrance with the Tourist Ticket 'Boleto Turistico') which protected the strategic entrance to the lower Urubamba Valley. The temple area is at the top of steep terracing which helped to provide excellent defenses. Stone used for these buildings was brought from a quarry high up on the opposite side of the Urubamba river - an incredible feat involving the efforts of thousands of workers. The complex was still under construction at the time of the conquest and was never completed. | | Directions | Home Sweet Home can be found on the main Street in Ollantaytambo ,only 2 blocks Hawai from the Main Square and is part of the Famous Sacred Valley in Cusco. Close to all local amenities, and within walking distance of the River and Inca fortress at Ollantaytambo.
