Itinerary and highlights
After transporting for about 1 hour, we will arrive in the town of Chinchero. Chinchero is a small indigenous Andean village located high in the windswept plains of Anta at 3765 m, about 30 km from Cusco. There are beautiful views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, with the Vilcabamba Range and the snowy peak of Salkantay dominating the western horizon. Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow. Its main claim for tourism is its colorful Sunday market, which is much less tourist-oriented than the Pisac market. The village consists mainly of mud-brick houses (adobe), and the locals still go about their business in traditional dress. The village may have been an important village in the times of the Incas. The most striking vestige of this period is the huge stone wall of the main square which has ten trapezoidal niches.
