Itinerary
Visit the "Qoricancha" or Temple of the Sun of the Incas in its ancient capital Cuzco, Peru; located next to the church of Santo Domingo and considered in times of the Incas the most important religious place of the empire. Inside the complex you will visit the temples dedicated to the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Rainbow and the Lightning to say of the first Spanish conquerors. The place was a repository of Inca treasures in gold and silver brought from various parts of the kingdom.
The Cuzco Cathedral is perhaps the most complete and varied colonial repository in Spanish colonial art, this was largely due to the strong Christian Catholic imposition in this part of the world. Some of its treasures are: The main altar with more than 100 kilos of silver in neoclassical style, its choir with baroque carvings influenced by the Spanish churches, the Lord of the Tremors (Patron of the city), among others.
A walk in this neighborhood invites you to enjoy past times with a sense of inspiration for the future. The place offers shops and workshops of masters of ancient and modern art, in many cases merged but typical of these lands.
Live the experience of visiting one of the best preserved Inca streets in the city of Cuzco, where the majestic stone of the 12 angles is located, which shows a unique and excessive styling for the Inca era.
Get to know one of the most picturesque and exotic food markets in Peru and perhaps South America still in force. In the varied local market of San Pedro you will taste exotic products as in ancient times.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
