The largest stones used in its construction are nearly 8.5 m (28 ft.) high and weigh 360 tons, fitting so perfectly together that a single piece of paper would not fit between two stones. Then we are driven to Qenqo, the temple dedicated to Mother Earth (pacha mama). Once back in the city of Cusco we visit the Koricancha or Temple of the Sun, a fine example of the fusion of Inca and colonial architecture. Just within walking distance in the city we will enter the cathedral with its magnificently carved woodwork, ornate altar and many hundreds of canvases from the 17th-century Cusco Painting School.

Beside the classics of the Peruvian capital like the beautiful colonial buildings in the city center, you will discover some rather unknown places and interesting facets of Lima. After a stop at two of the most emblematic squares - the Main Square and Plaza San Martin - we stroll along Chinatown. This is a perfect spot for an insight into the influence of different waves of immigration to the Peruvian culture and its cuisine. Then we make our way to Barranco. For many years a seaside resort where wealthy ‘Limenos’ spent the weekend at the beginning of the 20th century, today Barranco is Lima’s bohemian district and home of Peru’s most renowned art galleries.
