Flying from Lima to Cusco
Plaza de Armas, downtown Cusco
The Cathedral
This church is very similar to other churches in Mexico
Museo del Sitio del Qorikancha
I love this minimalistic architecture
This Saqsaywaman
School parade downtown Cusco
This is a typical government building
Qorikancha at night
This balcony style is very common in colonial Peru
Plaza de Armas, downtown Peru
This was the entrance to the old inquisition gallery.
One aspect of these building that it's interesting is the fact that the missionaries used rocks from the pyramids to build their churches. It was an act of empowerment and indoctrination to show the locals the new Spanish order.
Originally used to make offerings to the their gods, this nich was also used to mommify nobility.
This is Tambomachay. It is the highest point in Cusco, 3800 Mts. above sea level. This is a spring that fed the city of Cusco for centuries and a spa for kings.
