At an elevation of 3,723 meters, Chinchero is located between Urubamba and Cusco. During the Inca Empire, Chinchero served as an important town and administrative center. The site is considered sacred by the Inca people and is still a significant pilgrimage destination for the Quechua and other Andean communities.

Chinchero is known for its traditional textile arts and weaving. The locals continues to maintain the Inca weaving techniques, producing textiles, rugs, shawls, ponchos, and other woven goods out of alpaca and sheep wool.

We went to visit Chinchero - like everywhere - by local bus. The first picture shows how women here carry and entertain their babies 🙈

When we arrived, we were a bit disappointed because the market—which had been described everywhere as huge and spectacular—was really small. There were only some women sitting on the floor and selling the same artisanal goods you find everywhere else in the Sacred Valley of Cusco...

The weaving showroom was interesting though. The woman there showed us how they traditionally weave and explained with which materials from nature the wool is dyed.

I loved these llamas peacefully grazing among the ruins of Pumapungo ("the door of the puma" in Quechua), a city laid by the Incas centuries ago. This place, that was compared to the empire capital, Cusco, was the northern border of the Inca territory. It is in current day Cuenca, Ecuador.

Today in Labor History March 19, 1742: Tupac Amaru was born. Tupac Amaru II had led a large Andean uprising against the Spanish. As a result, he became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and in the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after him. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.

Imagine walking through the ancient streets of #Cusco, #Peru, and marveling at the remarkable stonework that whispers tales of the Inca civilization's extraordinary craftsmanship from centuries past.

Picture stones so meticulously cut and seamlessly fitted together, showcasing the #Inca people's unparalleled mastery of masonry.

Cusco is the city that has been continuously inhabited for the longest time in all of South America. I admire its long and straight streets, lined with perfectly fitted stones. I sometimes wish I could have visited it during the heights of the Inca empire!

Archaeologists uncover sacred Inca pilgrimage routes to volcanic peaks

Archaeologists are exploring the sacred landscapes where the Incas once walked during their Capacocha rituals. This ancient sacrificial ceremony involved offering children to the gods on top of high mountains and volcanoes. New studies are looking at the pathways that lead to these sacred sites...

In Ollantaytambo, we visited Pinkuylluna, an archaeological Inca site, built on a nearly vertical rocky mountain. Pinkuylluna was used by the Incas as a storage facility for agricultural products and other goods. The path to the ruins was really super steep. Luckily, at least the breathing at the altitude no longer bothered us, as we had already acclimatized for a while. The view down to the town of Ollantaytambo, into the valley towards Machu Picchu, and to the opposite main ruin site and terraces of Ollantaytambo was extremely impressive.

Back in #2004, I took my first solo trip in Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. This one is from the #beautiful and #mysterious #templeofthesun near the #titicaca lake. This picture was taken on film and has all the character of such a medium. Enjoy the #throwback.

From this vantage point, Ollantaytambo reveals itself as the underrated gem of Peru's Sacred Valley. Notice the remarkable Inca agricultural terraces on the opposite mountain and the stone qullqas (storehouses) cling to the cliff at my side. Below, terracotta rooftops of the modern town contrast with the ancient architectures.

How can you leave Ollantaytambo without purchasing a chullo from one of the vendors? Ollantaytambo, Peru 2017

"A chullo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃuʎo], from Quechua: ch'ullu; known as lluch'u in Aymara) is an Andean style of hat with earflaps, made from vicuña, alpaca, llama or sheep's wool. Alpaca fleece has wool-like qualities that help to insulate chullo-wearers from the harsh conditions in the Andean mountain region. Chullos often have ear-flaps that can be tied under the chin, to further warm the wearer's head.

Hats have been worn in the Andean mountain region by indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Wearing different types and colors has a significance among certain Andean natives. According to Peruvian historian Arturo Jiménez Borja, the chullo has its origins in the cultural exchange between Spaniards, who incorporated elements of their birretes and the original hat of the Andeans.

Compare the so-called "sherpa hat" associated with the Himalayas." --- Wikipedia
