What a day! Part 1

How can we fit so much into one day!? Alfredo picked us up bright and early at 7am to make our way to Chincero. It was a rainy start, but we're so grateful it cleared in the morning. First stop was a textile demo of the alpaca fur. It was really interesting to see how they colour the fur with all the natural elements. From there we visited the Chincero sacred ruins. The many levels of this temple are fascinating. Some entries for the common people, and the large ornate doors for royals to enter the grounds. From here they held various ceremonies to worship the sun and water as well as a burial site. All these temples and ruins are from the 1500's.Læs mere
