Next we will visit the Incan Temple of the Sun, the Coricancha. Historians tell us that a pilgrim could only enter the Coricancha barefoot, after fasting, and with a heavy load on his back to show his humility. Before the arrival of the Spanish, the walls of the Temple were covered with gold. The stonework here is all handmade and is of the very highest quality. The walls were covered with sheets of pure gold that was 3 meters high. The roof was made of the finest straw. During Incan times this was the most important religious site in their empire (Tahuantinsuyo.)

Next we will head out of the city and up to the immense Fortress of Sacsayhuaman. This impressive fortress is located north of the city. It is built of gigantic cut blocks of stone. Some of the blocks weigh more than 100 tons. This is an excellent example of Incan military architecture. The fortress took more than 70 years to complete. These fabulous walls amaze everyone who comes here to contemplate them.

Then we will go to the mysterious Incan site of Qenco. This carved limestone formation is full of subterranean passages and decorated with mythical figures. In addition we will visit the Baths of the Incas, Tambo Machay. There you can find venders of arts and crafts. You will have the opportunity to buy sweaters made of the wool of baby alpacas.
