Chinchero District, Administrative district in Urubamba Province, Peru
The district extends across 94 square kilometers of high-altitude terrain at 3,754 meters, surrounded by mountain peaks of the Vilcabamba range.
The district, established in September 1905, contains remnants of an Incan palace where ruler Tupac Yupanqui constructed agricultural terraces and aqueducts.
Local artisans at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales demonstrate traditional wool processing, spinning, and weaving techniques passed through generations.
The Sunday market brings together vendors selling agricultural products, textiles, and crafts, while the tourist ticket grants access to ruins and colonial church.
The district holds a colonial church built in 1607 upon Incan foundations, featuring ceilings decorated with both Catholic and indigenous Andean patterns.
