It boasts a remarkable Renaissance-style façade and a distinctive Baroque tower, along with an impressive collection of paintings from the Cusco school.
- Sacsayhuaman - The name Saqsayhuaman translates to “satisfied hawk” in Quechua. This fortress was constructed to shield the city of Cusco from Eastern invaders and stands as an excellent example of Inca military architecture.
Constructed with massive granite blocks, some reaching up to 5 meters in height and weighing up to 350 tons, it comprises three large terraces bordered by colossal stone walls extending up to 300 meters in length.
Due to its proximity to Cusco, it also served as a quarry for some of the city’s colonial constructions.
- Q’enqo - Qenqo was an Inca ceremonial center featuring tunnels and platforms used for religious rituals and ceremonies, highlighting the spiritual significance of this site to the Inca civilization.
Qenqo includes carvings with holes, steps, and channels, likely used to deposit chicha (a corn-based drink) in Inca rituals.
- Puka Pukara - Puca Pucara, also known as the red fortress, is named for the stones used in its construction, which have turned red due to their high iron content.
In addition to the fortress, there are other archaeological structures such as aqueducts, enclosures, and fountains. Its proximity to Tambomachay and its features suggest it served as a strong military defense for the area.
- Tambomachay - Referred to as the “Inca Bath,” Tambomachay was a ceremonial center dedicated to the water cult and a resting place for the Inca monarch.
It is composed of carved rocks, forming a beautiful arrangement of channels and waterfalls, fed by springs.
