Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. There seems to be a mistake regarding the mention of Pumamarca ruins in Ollantaytambo. Pumamarca is not located in Ollantaytambo but is a separate archaeological site in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

Pumamarca is a lesser-known Inca ruin located near the town of Ollantaytambo. It is situated approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) northeast of Ollantaytambo, in the direction of Calca. Pumamarca is characterized by its agricultural terraces and stone structures, reminiscent of the Inca civilization.

The site offers an interesting perspective on Inca agricultural practices and provides a glimpse into the ancient civilization’s ability to work with the landscape. The terraces of Pumamarca were likely used for agricultural purposes, allowing the Incas to cultivate crops at varying altitudes to take advantage of different microclimates.

While Pumamarca is not as well-known or extensively excavated as the Ollantaytambo ruins, it is a worthwhile visit for those interested in Inca history and culture. The site offers a peaceful and less crowded experience compared to some of the more popular archaeological sites in the region.

When planning your visit to Pumamarca, consider hiring a local guide who can provide historical insights and help you navigate the site. Additionally, it’s recommended to check the opening hours and accessibility of the site beforehand, as facilities and services may be limited.
