The temple of the Qoricancha, was a sacred place where the highest Inca god, the Inti (Sun), was worshiped, so they could only enter the place on an empty stomach, barefoot and with a load on the back as a sign of humility, as indicated the senior priest Willaq Umu.

The San Pedro Market in Cusco sits about an eight minute walk south from Plaza de Armas but couldn’t be more different!! On the walk to it you’ll generally notice more and more street vendors and ladies in traditional dress sitting on the side of the streets selling nuts, popcorn and other small bags of dried foods. You’ll spot more and more local shops (tiendas) selling the most random of things all in the one tienda. If you’re looking for an alpaca jumper, a freshly made juice, a bag of nectarines, some plantains to fry, buttifaras (ham sandwiches served on French bread) or some cheesy gifts for your parents or friends back home you’re definitely on your way to the right place!

The Museum is located in the city of Cusco, Peru. Previously it was called the Archeology Museum. It works in the colonial house Casa del Almirante. The place was the house of Huáscar during the Inca Empire. It was built by Admiral Francisco Alderete Maldonado at the beginning of the 17th century.

The San Cristóbal Church in Cusco is a small but historically rich colonial temple that also serves as a scenic lookout point over the city.
