Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Transfer to the Sacred Valley
A representative from Valencia Travel Cusco will collect you from your hotel and take you to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, your guide will be waiting to take you to the Sacred Valley. Along the way, you will stop in Chinchero, a small town in the Peruvian Andes where around 50 families continue to live from farming and textiles. Women are dedicated to weaving while men manage the agricultural work. The drive continues through the mountainous landscape, passing farms and small villages before reaching the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Here, you will experience a traditional demonstration of textile making, an ancient Andean craft that uses handwoven alpaca wool. The process includes natural dyes sourced from plants, minerals, and insects, producing a wide variety of colors. You will have time to walk around the complex and explore the work of local artisans. Shops and stalls display textiles and handmade crafts that reflect the skills passed down through generations. There will also be opportunities to interact with the community and negotiate prices directly with the families who produce the goods, creating a meaningful exchange that supports local traditions.
