Dawn in the Andes arrives cold and sharp: the van slips out of Cusco as a low sun cuts across terraced slopes and thin mountain air that seems to push back at first breath. By midmorning you stand at a family-run weaving house in Chinchero where alpacas and guinea pigs patrol the courtyard, threads of indigo and cochineal clicking under a practiced hand. The day moves like a measured Inca calendar — experiments in agriculture at Moray, geometric pools of salt at Maras daring your camera, and the stone streets of Ollantaytambo that once barred invaders.
