CHINCHERO. It’s another district of Cusco regions located at 45 minutes’ drive from Cusco famous because it’s local market, colonial church and the faming terraces. The people that live in the district are mainly indigenous Quechua descendant dedicated mainly to the agriculture and weaving.

MORAY. Located at 3,500 meters (11,500 ft.) compound by 4 circular terraces each of them has its own irrigation system. It was the “greenhouse of the Incas”, used for the agricultural experimentation, adaptation of different crops due to the huge difference between each terrace enabling to get different microclimates and plants.
