Itinerary

Qorikancha

45 min

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.
Cusco Cathedral

45 min Admission included

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.
