We had some time this morning to explore Cusco’s historic center on our own. We started with Kusicancha which had been a royal residence.

Then we wandered through town taking in the sights, and hustle and bustle of this vibrant city.

After lunch our group took a guided walking tour.

We visited Santo Domingo Church which incorporated some of the ruins of Qorikancha – an Inca temple.

We visited the San Pedro Market and contributed to the Cusco economy.

Our last stop was a tour of the Cusco Cathedral (which doesn’t allow pictures) on the Plaza de Armas de Cusco.

The Church of the Society of Jesus, and the water fountain are also on the plaza.
