Machu Picchu[edit]

@DavidWBrooks I am new to editing on Wikipedia, but I don't understand why my comment : 'It's also possible to take a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (which takes around 2 hours) - the village at the foothill of Machu Picchu from where it's possible to hike or take a shuttle bus to the site.' is any less relevant than the existing mention of walking the Inca trail from here? It's common for tourists to stop here en route to Machu Picchu regardless of their transport? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary Elizabeth Victoria (talk • contribs) 12:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

six monoliths[edit]

does anyone have information on the wall of six monoliths? I've heard they are six stones weighing well over 100 tons and would like confirmation and a source. thanks Zacherystaylor (talk) 04:33, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Poisoned dogs[edit]

This has been removed a couple times by a couple editors, including me:

It is a well-known fact that poison, baited with dog food or raw meat, is periodically left near the market in Ollantaytambo. This is an obvious, desperate strategy control a small stray dog population. However, collared dogs with owners also frequently ingest the poison and die after violent convulsions. The majority of citizens in the town condemn this policy and believe it is the work of the municipal government. Not only is this illegal under federal law (Ley 27265), but the poison is left in very close proximity to where children play and food is sold. Concerned tourists can stop by the municipal office on the Plaza de Armas to voice their dissatisfaction with this policy. ^[1]

It is an argumentative discussion of a short-term issue, and doesn't belong in this article. If you think it belongs, please say why here. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 00:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
