You will start in Coricancha, the Temple of the Sun, its construction was ordered by Inca Pachacutec (1438-1471) and was used as base for the construction of the Santo Domingo Convent upon the arrival of the Spaniards. Its walls were covered with gold sheets and its courtyards were planted with golden corn and life-size llamas. You will then go to the Cathedral (1560 - 1654), one of the most splendid Spanish colonial churches in America, which is shaped as a Latin Cross and houses about 400 colonial paintings from the Cusco art school, and impressive goldsmith, silversmith and precious stones works. Finally, you will be transfer to San Blas, which built impressive stone constructions at a short distance of the Main Square. It is still possible to see the unmistakable rigor of the Inca walls at the base of many constructions. Today the quarter is a conglomerate of charming small cobblestone streets that are very popular among craftspeople, who sell their works on the street.
