Monday

Out first stop was at the Qorikancha that had the main Sun worshipping square, earthquake proof designs and the golden garden in front.
Then we went to a cathedral that had some examples of Inca architecture and art along with the Spanish influence that came later. The last supper painting in Cuzco serves up local fruit and Guinea Pig.
Then we went Saqsayhuaman (sounds like sexy woman) which was a huge palace with that held the biggest Sun worshipping festival of the year on June 21 which was also the fist day of their year. We visited some caves that were used for mummification.

Each place that we visited today was part of a very large section of the city shaped like a Puma.
