Start your panoramic tour with the Coricancha, also known as "The Temple of the Sun" (Quri Kancha 'Golden Temple'), which was built by the Inca Pachacutec (1438 - 1572) and at the arrival of the Spaniards became the basis for the construction of the Convent of Santo Domingo.
Here, during the Inca empire, homage was surrendered to the sun ("Inti") and there was a time when it was covered with gold. Then admire the Cathedral, the imposing monument in the Plaza de Armas. Its construction began in 1560 and ended only in 1654. Almost a century of construction. For this purpose hundreds of stones were extracted and transported from Sacsayhuaman fortress under the command of the Ecclesiastical Council. Then pass by the side streets like Loreto and Regocijo, and finally return to your hotel.
