Cusco Day 1

First full day in Cusco, we did a half day city tour. Cusco is the former capital of the Inca Empire and this building was almost opposite out hotel.

The architecture is amazing. They fitted the blocks together perfectly.

A painting showing the Milky Way Galaxy as a llama.

The grounds of Qoricancha.

Then went out of town a short way to Sacsayhuaman.

Some tourists using the local rocks as a slide!

The ruins stretch over a large area.

And go underground.

The Cusco Catholic Cathedral. It is actually three churches in one, and as usual the interior is an amazing sight of gold and pictures.

The fountain in the Plaza de Armas.

Another shot of the Plaza de Armas. IS surrounded by tourist attractions and also some excellent restaurants.
