Chinchero is best to visit on a Sunday to see the authentic, less touristy, local market. There is also the town center and colonial church adorned with frescoes. From here you will continue on to visit Moray, an agricultural archaeological site used by the pre-Inca and Inca cultures much like modern green houses are used today. Then stop by Maras to see the salt pools fed by a salt water spring. The last stop is Ollantaytambo, which hosts one of the most important archaeological structures in the valley, the fortress of Ollantaytambo, where the Incas defeated the Spanish in a heroic battle. Meals included: breakfast, lunch
