Chinchero
This community is located 28 km from Cuzco on the paved road to
Urubamba. Here lie the remains of what was the royal hacienda of
Túpac Inca Yupanqui, as well as a beautiful colonial temple built on
Inca foundations. Its main attraction, however, is its Sunday market,
which was originally dedicated to the barter of products by the
people of the valley and the upper areas. Nowadays, the market is a
real hub of activity, vibrant with colour and movement which
fascinates tourists with its range of handicrafts and textiles made
in true pre-Columbian style. |
