Our next stop will be in the town of Urubamba, a place with good weather where we will have 40 minutes approximately to enjoy a buffet lunch, then we will go to the Ollantaytambo Fortress, built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the inhabitants of the jungle.
