El Albergue

Ollantaytambo has been an agricultural area since pre-Inca times and farming continues to be the main source of income for a large majority of the area’s population. Travelers in this area will notice the amazing terraced fields, water canals and granaries that were built over 500 years ago and continue to be used to date. El Albergue is nestled within the terracing of Ollantaytambo, and as of 2010 we have started a small farming project of our own. We are currently producing many of our own vegetables, corn, quinoa and potatoes on our adjacent farm, our guests are invited to visit the farm and even give farm work a dig if so inclined. Our farm is worked without the use of agrochemicals or synthetic fertilizers, and using many of the traditional techniques that have been around for centuries: plowing with oxen, rotating crops and using biological controllers to regulate pests and disease.
