Description

This tour offers a glimpse into how great the capital of the Incas once was. Unearth the riches of the Inca Empire with this fascinating tour.
You will start in Coricancha, the "Temple of the Sun", its construction was ordered by Inca Pachacutec (1438-1471) and was used as base for the construction of the Santo Domingo Convent upon the arrival of the Spaniards. Its walls were covered with gold sheets and its courtyards were planted with golden corn and life-size llamas.

You will then go to the Cathedral (1560 - 1654), one of the most splendid Spanish colonial churches in America, which is shaped as a Latin Cross and houses about 400 colonial paintings from the Cusco art school, and impressive goldsmith, silversmith and precious stones works.
