About

In a field of dry golden grass outside Chinchero, a woman in a red hat and long braids stands with a woven textile over her arm with her alpacas grazing in the sun beyond her. This photograph captures a quiet, ordinary moment in the community. I spent several days with one of these families learning about their way of life and working alongside them in their fields. Under the Inca ruler Túpac Inca Yupanqui Chinchero became a royal estate, with terraces, ceremonial buildings and irrigation channels. Today the village is known for its weaving cooperatives.

Chinchero brings the living culture of the Sacred Valley into your space. It brings a pop of color and culture to your space. It speaks to traditions carried forward by generations of women. Let it inspire you to experience the culture and people behind the places you travel through.
