Chinchero was not originally a part of the plan, but after leaving my prized 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens in a drawer back in our Cuzco hostel (I blame the brain-fart on the altitude…) we had to return with the tour group we were with, and this was a stop on the way back to the city.
It was truly one of those great mistakes, an unexpected detour; and it turned out being one of my favorite parts of the trip.
