What to expect

Discover the old village of Chinchero, an important part of the Inca Empire, which is located on a flat area more than 3,800 metres above sea level. You'll explore the archaeological site, which is famous for its well-preserved steps for growing crops and an amazing Inca fortress. Local stories say that this is where the rainbow came from.

In the middle of Chinchero is a beautiful old church, built in 1607 on top of Inca ruins. The main altar, decorated with gold leaf in a baroque style, is dedicated to the Virgin of the Nativity. The church walls have paintings by Diego Quispe Tito, a famous artist from the Cusco school of art.

Your visit ends with a walk through the small, stone-covered streets of Chinchero, where you can see what life is like in this town, before you go back to Cusco.
