Peru tour, day 8 – Inca masonry and sightseeing in Cusco

Video made for family and friends. In Cusco (3,400 meters elevation) we visited the Convent of Santo Domingo, built by the Spanish on the remains of the Inca golden temple, the most important temple in the Inca Empire. Thereafter we walked through the Loreto alley, between high stone walls built by the Incas with impressive precision, to the main square. There we visited the Cusco Cathedral (were photos/video we forbidden inside). Next was the Saqsaywaman (sound like “sexy woman”) – a ceremonial fortress built with perfectly fitted giant stone boulders on a plateau above Cusco (3,700m). Further up the road we visited the Quenco, one of the largest Inca holy places in the Cusco Region. Before our lunch in Cusco we visited the Sulca textile museum where we were allowed to feed lamas, guanacos and alpacas.
