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.
Located behind the colonial church, the archaeological site of Chinchero also includes well preserved Inca terraces.
Chinchero Archaeological Center (Sacred Valley of the Incas) 20221124
The archaeological site of Chinchero was one of the main palaces of the Inca empire. The emperor Túpac Yupanqui (1441 - 1493), son of the famous Inca Pachacutec, established his residence there. The palace was made up of royal enclosures, large windows, bathrooms, terraces, platforms and much more; until in the 16th century the Spanish destroyed it almost entirely. Today, the remains of this beautiful construction are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cusco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
The street beyond this arch leads into the center of the town of Chinchero, Peru. Chinchero is a town in the central Urubamba River Valley (The Sacred Valley). It's located on the side of the valley next to a major Inca archeological site. The valley is at its widest here so Peru is building a new international airport on the flat bottom of the valley directly below here. This will soon offer a new gateway to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

I am spending the next few days in the Cusco, Machu Picchu area of Peru. It was a very long day flying yesterday and adapting to 16 hrs difference from Australia. Today, we flew to Cusco, climbed from 3,400m to 3,800m to the village of Chincheros for Incan handicrafts before descending to the city of Urumbamba for overnight. The high altitudes are affecting me a bit, but it is tolerable so long as one goes gently and drinks lots of water.
Day 18 of 31. Though it felt like Day 17 was extra long due to time zone changes.

Chinchero - Handicrafts market (textiles) 20221126
Situated at an altitude of 3,762 metres above sea level (higher than Cusco), in the middle of the fantastic Sacred Valley, lies the small rural town of Chinchero.
Little known to mass tourism, this town actually offers several attractions: from Inca ruins to megalithic remains.
But the real celebrity is the Chinchero Market, where the famous Peruvian textiles, typical of this area, are sold.
