The Cathedral of Cusco or Basilica of the Virgin of the Assumption - It was originally an Inca temple dedicated to the god Wiracocha.

Both the Coricancha and the Convent of Santo Domingo coexist harmoniously as a symbol of cultural syncretism.

Like many places of importance, this site must have had several purposes, being an administrative center as well as a military fort that fulfilled religious and even astronomical functions.

Tambomachay - It is one of the most beautiful archaeological sites. Its Inca constructions worship water with such perfection that even today, after several centuries, its canals continue to flow water.
