Mysterious Faces and Granaries at Ollantaytambo - Cusco, Peru
Visit to check out great information about mysterious and fantastic places on earth.
Two mysterious faces can be seen from the Ollantaytambo fort. These are huge faces which are naturally formed on the mountain opposite to the fort. However, the Incas carved the eyes and some rough features into them to give meaning to them. One of them is Viracocha or Tunupa, the God of creation. Experts don't agree on who the other face represents. Also, you can see plenty of granaries built on the mountains. They were used to store grains (duh) .

Pinkuylluna Granary, Ollantaytambo
The Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo and Pinkuylluna Ruins, Peru
The Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo were suggested to us by a guy we met in Arequipa. We had never heard of Ollantaytambo (O-yahn-tay-tom-bow) and can barely say it at times. However, after spending some time in Cusco we were ready to get out of the town of tourism, hawkers and inflated prices to a place with a slower place and check out some ruins. Ollantaytambo is a village in the Sacred Valley in the south of Peru, on the Urubamba River. The Ollantaytambo ruins are a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces on a hillside. It is said that Francisco Pizarro and the conquistadors of Spain in the 1500s, sent his younger brother Hernando, with 70 fighters on horseback to take Ollantaytambo. The Incas held them off in their stronghold, only one of a few in all of Peru. They eventually left the area for higher ground and relinquished the village to the Spanish. The village's old town is an Inca-era grid of cobblestone streets and adobe buildings that make you feel as if you are back in medieval times. With its narrow cobblestone streets and passages, it was almost reminiscent of Varanasi in India. We couldn't wait to get exploring the surrounding ruins and village.

Hiking Montaña Pinkuylluna Ollantaytambo
Por una de las calles del Cusco está la subida hacia los almacenes incas de Pinkuylluna, ubicado al oeste de Ollantaytambo. Estos viejos depósitos son sin lugar a dudas los más impresionantes en el Valle y en muchas partes del Perú.
Desde allí se puede tener una vista inmejorable de los restos arqueológicos y el pueblo de Ollantaytambo.
Pinkuylluna es una palabra quechua que significa donde se tañe el pinkuy, instrumento musical de origen inca similar a la flauta.
Al ascender al cerro Pinkuylluna se aprecia en su vertical ladera grandes construcciones con diferentes propósitos como almacenar provisiones, meditación, vigilancia, prisión y un gran dominio de visión sobre el pueblo inca y la fortaleza la cual presenta en su forma la silueta de una llama.
Lo más impresionante es el gigantesco rostro de piedra del Dios Viracocha o Tunupa, que denota en su mirada expresión de autoridad. El camino lo lleva hasta estar sobre la cabeza del gran rostro tallado en piedra.
La mayoría de los depósitos o colcas tienen forma rectangular, algunas son de estructura cerrada y otras tienen una pared trasera más alta que la delantera así como también largas ventanas abiertas. Es difícil saber qué clase de productos se guardaban aquí, pero el principal cultivo fue el maíz. Aunque la ubicación de estos almacenes en lo alto de un cerro parece extraña, se puede entender que los construyeron a esa altura puesto que allí el aire es más fresco y mantenía ventilados los alimentos almacenados.
El Tunupa es considerado como el Wiracocha y como un personaje dotado de sobrenatural poder, alto, de cabello corto, vestido con túnica y bonete de cuatro puntas. Fue representado en uno de los flancos rocosos del cerro mediante un gigantesco perfil escultórico.

Pinkuylluna Ruins/Ruinas, Ollantaytambo, Peru 【HD】 ピンクイジュナ遺跡、オジャンタイタンボ
The Pinkuylluna archaeological site is located next to the town of Ollantaytambo in Peru. Access to this site is free, the hike is a little bit difficult but you get a very nice view of the valley and also of the main Ollantaytambo ruins. Apparently, these structures were used as storehouses to keep grains.
El sitio arqueológico de Pinkuylluna se encuentra al lado del pueblo de Ollantaytambo en Perú. El acceso al sitio es gratis, es un poco difícil de escalar pero la vista del valle y de las ruinas principales de Ollantaytambo es excelente. Aparentemente éstas estructuras fueron usadas como graneros.
ピンクイジュナの遺跡はオジャンタイタンボ村の横にあります。。無料で入りますが登山が少しきついです。上からの眺めがとても綺麗で、オジャンタイタンボの遺跡も見れます。この建物たちは穀物などを蓄えておく倉として使われていたそうです。
