Its name refers to the partridge and is related to the shape of the Archaeological Center. This contains different sectors such as the Platform Area where we can see that they fulfilled the function of Agriculture and at the same time support since it was built in the upper area of ​​the mountain, Another sector is the Urbano where there are enclosures of the people who inhabited it, We also find the largest recorded Inca cemetery and a religious area where we can find the Intihuatana, where the ceremonies related to the sun god were performed.

With the arrival of the Spaniards there was a change of location, which is why its current town is located at the base of the mountain where we can still find records of the colonial history that is kept alive..

Most of the houses and their Temple were built with stones from the Archaeological Center. This town keeps alive the tradition of ceramics with its artisans and agriculture with its extensive crop fields.. Later we will go to Urubamba where you will have our buffet lunch in a traditional restaurant., to then go to Ollantaytambo.

Ollantaytambo:

A wonderful place that wraps great history and mystery at the same time. During the time of the Incas, this was a control that was located in the Sacred Valley for visitors from other parts of the Tawantinsuyo who entered through this sector.. For the most part we can denote that the archaeological center is made up of terraces that fulfilled the ornamental function and at the same time of support since, like Pisac, its enclosures are located in the upper part of the mountain..

Its construction was based on the Cachicata quarry that is located in front of the Archaeological Center. A mystery about this beautiful place is the means used to transport the immense stones that exist, since their weight varies between 20 and 40 tons of weight, also considering that the Urubamba River is located between the quarry and the town, which increases the difficulty of this transfer. It also has Crop sectors where the tradition of Agriculture is still maintained today.. Once the excursion is over we will go to Chinchero:

Chinchero:

The activity of the textile industry was another of the main bases within the Inca civilization and that is why the town of Chinchero stands out since its tradition with the handling of Alpaca wool from its obtaining., washed, color dyeing and spinning continues from generation to generation.

This town also has its history throughout the years since initially the 10th Inca, Tupac Yupanqui arranged his palace to live in this place, Over the years and after the arrival of the Spaniards, the Temple to the Virgin of Monserrat was built on this site and during the viceregal era this was also the place of residence of Mateo Pumacahua who played a very important role in the rebellion of Túpac Amaru II and the rebellion of the Angulo Brothers. Today this picturesque town has much to show the world with its beautiful temple that has paintings by famous Cusqueño artists such as Diego Quispe Tito and Francisco Chihuantito., we will also find the large number of terraces and a large esplanade that finely adorn its surroundings.

Once the archaeological center of Chinchero has been completed, we will return to Cuzco where our tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas ends..
