Cuzco Tour! (Peru)

 Golden man

 Taking pictures of strangers

 Gorgeous churches!

 The Plaza de Armas, the main square

 The main plaza and a church on the hill

 Inca-made walls




 Golden statue in the plaza



 ''After 500 years, gloria and honor for the anonymous victims of the invasion and for the heroes of the Andean resistance  ....And they will not be able to kill us.  Qosqo (Cuzco) 12 October 1992''

 Another cathedral in the main square

 The indigenous flag, I think

 Peru's national flower


 Our guide said that the people in the background are from Lake Titicaca, and that he could tell by their clothes

 Hatunkancha: until the 16th century, this wall was part of the Incan sector

 La Plaza de Armas


 Our guide, explaining that this rock weighs more than 900 kilos

 Showing the depth of the rock wall



 The wall has rocks in the shape of a serpent

 Also, in the shape of a puma

Seriously, so many bracelets...

I wish I had a small person for these shoes!

 Tiles for sale on the street

 Puma statue

 Armadillo charango (an instrument like a ukelele)


 Cristo Blanco statue

 A view of the city from the San Cristobal Church

 La Iglesia de San Cristobal

 Viva El Peru written on the hill, showed up while I was staying there




 Cristo Blanco statue

The cathedral at night! With the Cristo Blanco to the left

 A delicious vegan pizza I found, like $3.50

 Purgatory Road? I decided to not go down that one.

 Leather belt maker

 Loved these



 Typical daily rain in Cuzco
