A charming little village in the Sacred Valley built on Inca ruins and lying just thirty kilometres from Cusco.

My suggestion

If you're looking for a shorter alternative to the Inca Trail or the Salkantay Trek, consider the Huchuy Qosco Trek, which begins at Chinchero and ends with a visit to Machu Picchu. I absolutely loved it!

My suggestion

If you're there on a Sunday, make sure you visit the colourful stalls that pack its market. It's authentic and less touristy than other markets in the Sacred Valley.
