Among trekking opportunities in the Sacred Valley, this one rewards trekkers with spectacular views of Andean mountains and remote villages. The trail follows the banks of the Río Patacancha, where you will eventually encounter the small but well-preserved Inca ruins of Pumamarca. To complete the loop from Ollantaytambo requires about five hours. To begin, take the road north of Ollanta along the Patacancha. When the road crosses the river it becomes a footpath and you'll follow this past Munaypata village. Take a left and follow the path towards the valley and terracing and then make a sharp left towards the agricultural terraces in front of you.
