Our first stop is the Main Square of Cusco, also known as Plaza de Armas, jewel of Peruvian history.

The main symbol of the square is Cusco Cathedral^*, which preserved to our times in unsurpassed form and it is a major repository of Cusco's colonial art.

Our second stop is the Temple of Coricancha or Golden Temple, it is a building of colonial architecture but still with signs of Inca Empire that allows tourists to imagine its majesty during the Tahuantinsuyo.
