After breakfast, a transport service will pick you up at your hotel in the morning to take you to the town of Chinchero. This traditional urban centre is unique because of its privileged view of the Sacred Valley landscape, but also because its inhabitants preserve the traditions and knowledge inherited from the Incas, which reflects in their clothing and crafts. In addition to their cultural legacy, in Chinchero you can visit the agricultural platforms and its beautiful church of the 17th century, built on an ancient Inca palace and considered one of the first Catholic buildings in Peru. Continue your journey through the Sacred Valley to the Living Museum of Yucay.
