 This morning, we will take the road to the Sacred Valley. 28km northwest of the city of Cusco, is the town of Chinchero (3,772 masl), famous for the extraordinary quality and beauty of its textiles and for its Sunday fair in which the native inhabitants, dressed in colorful typical costumes, come down from their communities to exchange their products. 

We will visit the weavers' workshop of Nilda Callañaupa, who 28 years ago, took the initiative to bring together women who shared her passion. Over time Nilda managed to get young women, who had lost interest in weaving, to learn from older people and reconnect with this ancestral art. She started in the courtyard of her house in Chinchero and, in 1996, this initiative became the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco, a solid organization destined not only for the preservation but also for the commercialization of beautiful high-quality textiles.  This visit will be highly enriched with the explanation of the protagonist of this story, Nilda Callañaupa.

Then, we will have a unique experience of the land, to our "Pachamama". 

Our lunch will be called Pachamanca at the "Albergue"

This morning, we will take the road to the archaeological center of Moray, used as an agricultural laboratory, its system of circular platforms that descend 150m below our feet will confirm the wisdom of the Incas to build masterpieces in harmony with nature. 

Then we will continue our journey until we reach the Salineras de Maras. Exploited from Inca times until today, this salt mine will surprise us with its white steps that descend abruptly against the green slopes of the hills. We will enjoy a refreshing lunch at Hacienda Huayoccari. Finally, we will visit Ollantaytambo, one of the last living peoples of the Inca culture, which was jealously guarded by a colossal fortress. We will discover the great archaeological complex of what was a "Tambo" or city of rest and accommodation for the royal entourages who traveled long distances. Its architectural remains still preserve walls and towers that were used to protect it from possible invasions.

Yoga today will be uniquely surrounded by nature.
