2. the Santo Domingo Convent, famous for being built on the Incan sun temple structures, the main religious building of the Incas dedicated to the worship of the Sun. When the first Spaniards arrived they were amazed to see that the walls of the great temple were covered with gold plates. Following that tour, we will visit the Cathedral, a colonial religious monument of extraordinary artistic value with its fabulous paintings with a carved wooden frame, and the beautiful Church of the Company

3. Continuing the tour, we visit the archaeological complex of Sacsayhuaman, where you will appreciate large terraces which overlap in zigzag formation surrounded by enormous stone walls well fitted with stone blocks exceeding 6 meters high and weighing over 120 tons. Simply a magnificent work of Incan architecture most worthy of being admired. You will also visit Q’enqo, which means “Labyrinth”. This place is a stone shrine that was used for ritual purposes. Also Pukapukara, which means “red fortress” because the calcareous stones with which is built have acquired the reddish color of the ground. And finally Tambomachay which was a sacred center of worship of water, that were also known as Incan Baths.

About Cusco

Cusco, den gamla inkahuvudstaden högt uppe i Perus Anderna, blandar massiva stenmurar med koloniala kyrkor och är porten till Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas är stadens hjärta, ramad av katedralen och jesuitkyrkan La Compañía. Inkamurverk finns kvar i hela centrum, mest berömt vid Qorikancha, soltemplet där spanjorerna byggde ett kloster, och i stenen med tolv hörn på gatan Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, hantverkarnas kvarter, klättrar brant med verkstäder och caféer.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
