Travel Guide
These are some tourist attractions of the city of Cusco that are not included in the City Tour:
The Stone of the 12 angles – A famous stone that fits perfectly in its twelve corners with the immense rock wall that belonged to the palace of Inca Roca. It is located on Hatun Rumiyoc Street, a few steps from the Plaza de Armas. Because it is in the middle of the street, the visit is free.
The Machupicchu de la Casa Concha museum – A museum inside a colonial house where some of the pieces found in Machu Picchu in 1911 are exhibited, which were returned by Yale University in the United States between 2010 and 2012. It is a few steps away from the Plaza de Armas.
The Church of the Society of Jesus – A beautiful and imposing baroque-style colonial church located in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco. Its interior presents objects made of silver and gold used in religious rites. It also highlights its collection of paintings from the ‘Cusco School’ of painting.
The temple of the moon – It is a mysterious Inca building carved inside a cave. Light filters through its cracks making it seem like a mystical place. It is also known as the ‘Temple of Fertility’. It is near Sacsayhuaman, on the outskirts of the city.
