Ollantaytambo was included in an important list of the renowned British media and is considered one of the best destinations for international tourism.
Peru continues to be recognized by the foreign press in the field of tourism. Thus, the prestigious publication Condé Nast Traveler included Ollantaytambo in its list of the best places in the world for 2023, informed the Commission for the Promotion of Peruvian Exports and Tourism (PROMPERÚ).
The British magazine's extensive international staff of writers proposed a list of worldwide destinations that was vetted by editors from the United States, United Kingdom, Spain and India, until finally a consensus was reached to choose the best places its readers should visit over the next 12 months.
It should be noted that Ollantaytambo has been recognized for the good things it offers beyond its impressive archaeological site and its valuable historical center: coffee, distillates, local products, ecotourism activities and experiences, first class alternative lodging and above all, the encounter between tradition and modernity that reflects the best of the ancestral heritage found in the Sacred Valley.
The choice of destinations was determined by different criteria, but special attention was given to sites that are ready to receive tourists and that also offer the possibility of interacting with local communities through a more meaningful style of travel where a human connection can be achieved.
In this regard, Condé Nast Traveler also highlighted the cultural value of the fiesta del Señor de Choquekillka (festival of the Lord of Choquekillka), one of the most important in the Sacred Valley, and recommended that its international readers organize their visit around this important event in the Cusco calendar.
It should be recalled that in December last year, Ollantaytambo was chosen as one of the best tourism villages at the 24th General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), held in Madrid, Spain. This recognition is called "Best Tourism Village" and seeks to distinguish villages around the world that have demonstrated their commitment to the promotion and conservation of their cultural heritage, as well as sustainable development through tourism.
