Cuzco, Peru, a city originally designed by the Incas in the shape of a puma, then dominated by the Spanish conquerors and the church…. is today a growing, crowded and yet, very sophisticated mixture of cultures. .The city never sleeps here at the end of the Sacred Valley. The restaurants are excellent, the architecture among the very finest pre-conquest stones and colonial architecture.
We found a contemporary gallery with sculpture exhibit interpreting the historical use of stone.
Hand carved cedar wood painted with gold and lillies everywhere!
Colonial arches through Inca walls!
Plaza de Armas on Sunday morning – another parade. This one had rows of the workers who are improving the roads, indigenous peoples, then more workers and engineers….all are a part of the design and construction for the new airport in Chinceros. a small weaving center at 13,500+ ft!
More parade…
Contemporary art exhibit in the upstairs level of the Quoricancha – the Temple of the Sun became the Santo Domingo convent. It is a mixture of both.
