As our first destination, we will visit The Basilica Cathedral of Cusco, this impressive church is one of the finest examples of Spanish colonial architecture in the country. It was built in 1559 on the ruins of the ancient Inca citadel and houses a variety of artwork and religious objects, including the stunning baroque-style dome.

Next, we will visit The Archbishop's Palace, this imposing 16th-century building was constructed by the Spanish and is located in the historic center of Cusco. It features beautiful paintings from the Cusco School that depict the life and events of the local inhabitants, as well as biblical passages. The palace also has lovely courtyards and gardens.

And we cannot miss The Church of the Company of Jesus, this church was built during the colonial period (17th century) and is famous for its elegant architectural details. One of its main features is its beautiful baroque-style façades adorned with numerous statues, columns, and decorative elements.

The Church of San Blas is one of the oldest temples in the city and is famous for its pulpit.
