Upon arrival in Cusco, claim your baggage and then board the coach. You will be transferred to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and visit the village of Chinchero, which was one of the most important populations during the Inca Empire. However, as much of its annexes, it was also a victim of the "extirpation of idolatries", action that replaced the traditional deities by Catholic ones to transform the popular beliefs.
