Le Pouls Du Monde

fiona and marcAt an elevation of 3,723 meters, Chinchero is located between Urubamba and Cusco. During the Inca Empire, Chinchero served as an important town and administrative center. The site is considered sacred by the Inca people and is still a significant pilgrimage destination for the Quechua and other Andean communities. Chinchero is known for its traditional textile arts and weaving. The locals continues to maintain the Inca weaving techniques, producing textiles, rugs, shawls, ponchos, and other woven goods out of alpaca and sheep wool. We went to visit Chinchero - like everywhere - by local bus. The first picture shows how women here carry and entertain their babies 🙈 When we arrived, we were a bit disappointed because the market—which had been described everywhere as huge and spectacular—was really small. There were only some women sitting on the floor and selling the same artisanal goods you find everywhere else in the Sacred Valley of Cusco... The weaving showroom was interesting though. The woman there showed us how they traditionally weave and explained with which materials from nature the wool is dyed. —> 5 📸 pictures in this post <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chinchero?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chinchero</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sacredvalley?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sacredvalley</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/peru?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#peru</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/inca?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inca</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/weaver?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#weaver</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travelphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#travelphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a>

DezoitoI loved these llamas peacefully grazing among the ruins of Pumapungo ("the door of the puma" in Quechua), a city laid by the Incas centuries ago. This place, that was compared to the empire capital, Cusco, was the northern border of the Inca territory. It is in current day Cuenca, Ecuador. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Pumapungo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pumapungo</a> <a
