CHINCHERO TRADITIONAL WEAVINGS
This traditional market is located in the Chinchero Church square.
This market is a beautiful attraction since it continues to preserve the tradition and barter is still carried out among the inhabitants of this place.
I recommend you visit the Sunday market since it is bigger and we can find more products (fruits, vegetables, handicrafts).
This church is known as Our Lady of the Nativity or Montserrat Lady, this temple was built on the 17th century, it’s one of the buildings made on adobe that remains still in Peru.
The Church was declared as Cultural Patrimony of the Nation and also as a Historical-Artistic Monument in 1972.
The church was built on the walls of the Palace of the Inca Túpac Yupanqui.
Inside, the church stands out for its impressive murals with religious motifs. The most outstanding piece of the murals is The Virgin of Monserrat and among others such as the defeat of Túpac Amaru.
The Chinchero archaeological park is one of the main attractions of this picturesque town.
This archaeological park has 43 hectares elaborated in the Inca period.
It stands out for its beautiful platforms, Inca walls and stands.

We were recommended this company by our neighbor. Ruben/Juan was great with questions and provided a lot of valuable information as I was planning parts on my own instead using a set tour, partially due to wanting to climb one of the optional peaks which you need to book months in advance. We then hit a snag with my wife’s passport and Ruben happily rearranged the tour for us even though we gave last minute notice.
Our tour guide Wagner met us where the bus dropped us of (can be arranged to pick up from your hotel as well), and we spent the next two hours learning a lot about the history of the site and he took us away from the crowds, and accommodated our photos requests. After we hung around and explored on our own until it was time to leave….

FANTASTIC!!! From start to finish! Amazing Andean Adventures was in charge for our entire 8 day trip to Peru. Every detail and pick up was perfect. Every driver and guide was great! Thank you Kivin and Joaquin for finding my camera!
There was one special guide that we will never forget. Dany met us at our hotel in Agnes Calientes and was very patient as our train was late arriving. His knowledge of the history and culture of the Incans made the tour of Machu Picchu come alive! We were fortunate to have Dany for two days, always upbeat, helpful, fun, and competent. The Cusco City Tour was also amazing with the continuing history making us feel like we were actually there in the time of the Inca rule. Magical…

We traveled to Cusco this December with a three day private tour planned with Danny. My mom had done a similar tour with Danny and recommended him/amazing andean adventures to us! Our three day adventure was pretty much perfect; danny was always early to meet us, super friendly, with great english and tons of knowledge to share about the ruins and inca historical sites we visited. He even made the rain clear up so we could get a perfect view of machu picchu after our hike. On day one we went from our hotel to various destinations in sacred valley, which I worked with the company to plan so that we would hit all the spots I wanted to. They were helpful and accommodating in building a highly individualized itinerary…
