Pumamarca Ruins (Ollantaytambo)

Lovely hike which takes about 2 hours from Ollantaytambo, you will most probably be there alone as I was, so it is nice change to other archeological sites in the area.

Nice hike from the start of the trail around 1-1.5h

Really weird that this isn’t talked about more in guides to Ollantaytambo. It’s definitely off the beaten track but well worth the visit. The views along the trail are awe inspiring. Alpacas hang out at the ruins. It was the perfect day hike.

It’s on the top overlooking a town in the valley with white alpine mountains in a small corner. It’s spread out and bigger so it’s more difficult to take in to get the whole picture of those circular structures lining around the mountain…

Beautiful archeological site featuring Wari and Inca construction. Incredible view of the surrounding valleys. Definitely worth a visit. You can hike or take a taxi up. I suggest walking back down to Ollantaytambo from the site. It's a beautiful walk back.

para mi una de las ruinas mas especiales de toda la cultura Inka, una ciudadela muy bien conservada y fuera de los circuitos turísticos. Ahora han arreglado el camino de acceso y se puede llegar cerca en coche

Sitio arqueologico sobre los 3400 msnm Un sitio de control del sistema idraulico en medio de 3 valles con recintos y depositos de alimentos de epoca inka con material rustico de piedra y barro del lugar.

Sunrise run from Ollantaytambo took me and my boys (15 & 11) 2.5 hours. Even though my 11 yo had a hard time he said it was worth it. We were literally the only people there at 7am, so it was very intimate and special compared to Machu Picchu.

We took a taxi there and hike from from where taxi left us. It's 1/2 hike to top with beautiful views of the valley

Amazing hike and the site. We went there by tuktuk and hike down the valley.

Es un lugar con mucha mística, rodeado de la cultura Inca a través de sus terrazas o andenes que cubren toda la montaña. La fortaleza de Pumamarca está ubicada en un lugar con una vista de toda esa parte del valle!

Sitio arqueologico muy bonito y recomendable para caminar. Nivel medio. Se puede ir con caballo. Visicletas. Cuatrimotos y caminando.

Ruinas pre-incas y incas en lo alto de las montañas con una vista increíble. Recomendable subir caminando desde Ollantaytambo y así apreciar las enormes terrazas de agricultura

Once there it was spectacular, really under promoted attraction but loved it. Beautiful location and very peaceful. However the hike there took a long time due to no signage off the road where it starts. Once I chose the correct path it was…

Once you are there, you will understand the beauty and wonder

Hike up took about an hour and a half. Expect it to be difficult if you're not acclimated to the altitude. There's a small shop near the top run out of a family's home. The ruins are great and they were nearly empty when we went.
