Itinerary
Admire the famous Twelve-Angled Stone set into an ancient Inca palace wall - a masterpiece of mortar-free stonework cut to fit with astonishing precision.
Stand in the Plaza de Armas, the ceremonial heart of the Inca capital and today's colonial main square, ringed by the Cathedral and grand arcades.
See Cusco Cathedral, begun in 1559 on the foundations of an Inca palace and home to the Cusco School paintings, including a famous Last Supper with roasted guinea pig.
Admire La Compañía de Jesús, the Jesuits' dazzling Andean Baroque church built on the Inca palace of Huayna Cápac, famous for its gilded altarpiece.
Walk down Calle Loreto, flanked by two of Cusco's finest Inca walls - once the palace of Huayna Cápac and the House of the Chosen Women.
End at Qorikancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun once sheathed in gold, whose mortar-free walls survive beneath the colonial Santo Domingo convent.
