You can also buy bottled water and snack here although it is probably cheaper to bring from cusco.to avoid congestion buses are no longer permitted to stop in the village of ollantaytambo. Having arrive at km82 at around mid-morning hiker cross the vilcanota River and follow the trail to the right as is climbs steeply up from the river. After passing through a small village, the ruins of the Inka Hillfort of Huillca Raccay come into view high above the mouth of the River Cusichaca (happy bridge). from this point we will have spectacular views of the Llactapata ruins, which was a check point of the Inca trail approach to Machu Picchu.over view of the History of the Inca trail.
For a further 7km the path follows the left bank of the river up to the small village of Wayllabamba (3000 msnm). the name in Quechua means grassy plain. This is the last place along the trek that you can buy snacks and drinks. We will spend the night in this village. however, this is a farming community, so if you are a light sleeper and maybe kept awake by the noise of donkeys or early morning roosters then we suggest that you take are-plugs!!
