Chinchero
Chinchero - Sacred Valley of the Incas 20221126
Chinchero is the capital of the district that belongs to the province of Urubamba. It is one of the most representative cities of Cusco. It is known for its archaeology and handicrafts.
The Chinchero fair is one of the most important in the region for the high quality of the goods sold, recognised internationally for its excellent work and beauty. At this fair, bartering (an ancient way of exchanging goods) is still practised in Chinchero, and the granddaughters of the Inca princesses continue to knit wool and make clothes as the Ajlas did for the children of the Sun in imperial Cusco.
Chinchero is one of the places where time seems to stand still, as Inca traditions and culture continue to this day. The inhabitants have Inca blood and the language is Quechua. However, almost all the inhabitants speak Spanish as a second language.
Its fertile land is an excellent producer of potatoes, ollucos, ocas, lima beans, barley and wheat, traditional products that existed in Inca times and continue to be the commercial axis of this area.
