Cultural Immersion in Chinchero: Known as the city of the rainbow, Chinchero is a living treasure that preserves Inca architecture and ancient traditions. We'll visit the archaeological site, the colonial temple, and a textile interpretation center, where you'll learn the ancestral techniques of natural alpaca wool dyeing.
