Chinchero, a small Andean Indian village, was our last stop for the day. We arrived at dusk, which made the views overlooking The Sacred Valley even more spectacular. Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow, one of the phenomena of nature that the Incas worshipped. What I found so interesting here, once again, was the combination of the Inca life with the Spanish life. An adobe colonial church, dating from the early seventeenth century, was built on the foundations of an Inca temple or palace.
