2 Best Sights in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Peru

Locals come from miles away to sell their produce at the Sunday Chinchero Market, making it a truly authentic market experience; come early, though, because it's all over by noon. The artisanal markets in Chinchero, which are open daily, are some of the best places to find textiles. Within the large market building are smaller owner-operated stands where local weavers sell their own and others' creations. There are also demonstrations of local dyeing and weaving techniques.

A 1607 colonial church in the central plaza above the market was built on top of the limestone remains of an Inca palace, thought to be the country estate of the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, the son of Pachacutec. It's worth a visit if only to see the murals on the walls and ceiling.
