Review:

Sitting on a windswept plain at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet, Chinchero is a traditional Andean village best known for its rich tradition of weaving and its lively Sunday market. The best time to come is on Sunday, when you can admire the mountains of produce at the market and perhaps purchase some textiles to take home, but it's worth coming during the rest of the week as well. Many of the local workshops offer weaving demonstrations, and you can also spend some time exploring the town's historic district, which features a massive stone wall and an old colonial church. Map
