The last site that we visitted as part of my Sacred Valley tour was Chincheros, at sunset. It consists of some ruins and also a religious site that is still up. You need to walk for 10 minutes in town before arriving to the main place.

Children selling stuff reminds me of Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The kids there are fluent in a few key Japanese and English phrases. So adorable, you want to help. Cheers, SL
