Its unique terraced depressions made it a one‑of‑a‑kind laboratory for crop development in the ancient Andes. Another highlight of the day is Chinchero, which sits at about 3,754–3,800 meters (12,300–12,500 ft) above sea level, offering dramatic views of the surrounding Andean peaks. It is considered one of the most culturally representative towns of the Cusco region and is also known as the “Rainbow Town” due to the frequent appearance of rainbows during the rainy season. The group dinner will be at Loas Manos Restaurant this evening.   (Breakfast, Family Style Lunch, Dinner included)

Located at the western end of the Sacred Valley (approximately 30 minutes driving time), it is both an archaeological site and a living Inca town, continuously inhabited since the 15th century.  The town still retains its original Inca street grid, water canals and stone doorways, making it one of the most authentic Andean towns to explore.  Lunch and the afternoon are on your own today to enjoy. The group dinner this evening is at the Wayra Restaurant at your hotel.  (Breakfast and Dinner included)
