Monday 15 April

Cuzco

Our hotel is an old 18th century mansion with modern additions, built around a lovely courtyard

Our first visit today was to Santo Domingo Monastery built in the 17th century on the foundations of the Incan Koricancha Temple of the Sun

Then onto the Cathedral in Plaza de Armas, sadly no photos allowed but a very impressive building with an altar made from solid silver.

Lastly we visited the Convent of Santa Catalina which gave a real insight into the life of the nuns and the beautiful embroidered works they created.
