Ancient chronicles say the temple was covered in gold leaf and filled with golden representations of nature.Then, visit the Cathedral, the most imposing monument of the main square. Head to the hills above Cusco to explore the remains of the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, whose imposing ramparts offer a stunning panoramic view of Cusco, and the ruins of the temple and amphitheatre of Qenqo, where it is believed the Incas practised agricultural rituals. Admire Qenqo and then finally discover Puka Pukara (‘Red fortress’ in Quechua) an Inca military complex located on a prominent hill. Its dwellings squares, bathrooms, aqueducts, walls, and towers can still be appreciated.
