First stop: Chinchero Archaeological Park (3,750 masl). Town famous for its textiles.

We will visit the famous Aguana Canchas, places where our Chincherina women will demonstrate alpaca wool spinning, dyeing and weaving in an artisanal and natural way, using minerals, plants, roots and insects for color shades.

Our Chincherina women will dress you in typical local costumes. We will drink muña or coca tea to combat altitude sickness and take beautiful souvenir photos with the alpacas and llamas they raise at these Aguana Canchas.
