Welcome to the unique Chinchero in Peru

Chinchero, in Inca culture, is the place where the rainbow is born, and Chinchero has always been known as the weaving capital of Peru. It is located between Machu Picchu and Cusco, and because the Urubamba River is considered a sacred river, the valley is called the Sacred Valley. This was the main settlement of the Incas in the Andes Valley during the Inca Empire. The town is small and is a place that everyone who participates in the Sacred Valley group will not miss. This is the first stop of the Sacred Valley day tour. 🌟Town Highlights 1️⃣ Iglesia Colonial de Chinchero: The town church, the murals are very exquisite; 2️⃣ Mercado de Chinchero: Chinchero market, every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday will set up stalls in the square in front of the church, you can also see the scene of local villagers exchanging their own goods here; 3️⃣ Centro de Textiles Tradicionales: The best handicraft shop in the town; 4️⃣ Ruinas Inca: Inca ruins on the edge of the town. 🚉Travel Strategy: Most tourists will choose the Chinchero+Moray Terraces＋Salinas Salt Pans＋Ollantaytambo one-way day tour departing from Cusco.
