Plaza De Armas De Chivay is a small but charming square surrounded by picturesque views of volcanoes and the Church of Lady of the Assumption. Despite its size, it offers a pleasant atmosphere with various dining options and local vendors selling coca leaves and artisanal bread. The plaza provides a cozy setting without large crowds, allowing visitors to savor local cuisine and coffee while soaking in the town's vibes.
Wonderful town square. Just don't order pizza from none of the restaurants around the square. All of the pizzas sucked. Besides that, it is nice to people watch ans take a rest on the benches as Chivay is about 3600 meters above sea level. There is an old last with a 3 alpacas that lets you take pictures for a small tip. Help her out, we saw her buy her alpacas milk and feed them all with a baby bottle. She actually takes care of them.

Q’eswachaka Rope Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Spanning a scenic canyon & river, this is one of the last remaining handwoven Incan rope bridges.
This bridge is totally worth visiting despite how remote it is - it was far more epic than we had imagined! We went by car: it’s a long road that takes about 4 to 5 hours from Cusco, and it’s full of plot holes and bumpy roads, so in hindsight we would’ve taken a 4x4 or a jeep. Once you’re there the scenery is breathtaking and crossing the bridge costs 20 pen for tourists and 10 for Peruvians. There’s a few locals selling snacks and food and that’s about it. If you want to spend the night there, you can ask the locals for accommodation as they all have a b&b or know someone that has it. Everybody we met there were super nice and accommodating.

Stunning setting for the hand woven rope bridge across the gorge. Small information centre and toilets on west side. Also there was an unfriendly official wanting S20pp just for looking at the bridge from the steps. Limited parking. East side had even less parking and there was nobody asking for money. Steps down from both sides and viewing platforms at various levels. Lots of construction work going on (Nov2024) higher up the valley on the east side approach road. No delays in driving through works.

Amazing bridge for this reason; they remake it annually from scratch! All woven by local communities with a huge swap-out celebration eqch June. Get a great boat ride while youre there too! 4 starts only becasue its like 4 hr drive from Cusco. But if you get a tour van, the countryside is stunning!

Qorikancha

Mentioned on

Museum
Place of worship
Qorikancha, also known as the 'Court of Gold,' is a significant Inca ruin located in Peru. It was originally built to honor the sun god and was adorned with pure gold, including walls, altars, and life-size statues of plants and animals. However, much of its wealth was looted during the Spanish conquest.
Very neat place to check out. The history is fascinating and worth learning about. There is great art work and some incredible woodworking. If you like history of religion there is a lot of it. My favorite part of it is the amazing architecture.
Michael H — Google review
The most important temple of the Inca empire, partially destroyed to build the church. The museum goes over the history but also has paintings of the Cusco school (amongst others). On the balconies you get nice views of the city, or you can climb up the bell tower to get even better ones.
Bruno V — Google review
The site primarily features pre-Inca stonework and a church, presenting a compelling juxtaposition of historical periods. The experience extends beyond the interior, encompassing the exterior as well. We recommend visiting the top tower for panoramic views and the artifacts bell. The entrance fee is approximately ten Soles. Ascending to the summit via the narrow stairway offers a memorable experience.
SPICY — Google review
What a beautiful museum/heritage site. So much to learn! Please note: entry is not included in the boleto turístico (only the Museo del Sitio Q, which is not worth it). But for this site, it's 20 soles well spent. Allow for at least 90 minutes if you don't want to rush.
Eugenio C — Google review
An amazing place full of history and beauty! The Temple of the Sun in Cusco, also known as Qorikancha, is one of the most impressive sites I visited in Peru. The combination of ancient Inca architecture and Spanish colonial influence is truly fascinating. You can really feel the spirit of the Inca civilization in every stone. The museum inside offers interesting information about the culture and beliefs of the Incas. A beautiful and peaceful place that you shouldn’t miss when visiting Cusco!
Aymen C — Google review
Such a beautiful museum. So much Inca history and views were amazing. Im glad I paid 5 soles which is less than 2 us dollars to go upstairs to see the bells and views. Don't skip that part. It's worth your time!
Stephanie B — Google review
Qorikancha is one of the most historically significant sites in all of Peru. It was once the dazzling Inca Temple of the Sun, famously covered in gold. Today, you witness an incredible architectural fusion: the Spanish Santo Domingo Convent built directly on the top of the original, perfectly fitted Inca stone walls. The most amazing part is seeing how the Inca walls survived every major earthquake, while the Spanish structures did not. It is a powerful testament to Inca engineering genius and a must-see for understanding the depth of Cusco's history. Truly unforgettable.
Michal R — Google review
Good to visit after Machu Pichu. An important historical area and central to the Inca culture. you’ll appreciate it more if you went to Machu Pichu before hand. It also helps in altitude acclimation if you do Machu Pichu first since Cusco city is almost 1,000 meters higher in elevation. You can’t take pictures of the preserved paintings but they are worth looking at especially the mix of a European oil painting style with subservient Inca culture imbedded secretly which was not obvious during the time. A local guide is recommended as they can give you more context that’s beyond what’s written on the paintings. If you just want to leisurely go around without a guide, that’s certainly an option and there’s a coffee shop inside and clean restrooms. Our favorite painting is the crucified Jesus with Mary & Joseph at each side chewing apparently Coca leaves. Only apparent when you look closer and one of their cheeks is plump. Pretty cool! If you want pictures with an alpaca, make sure you have coins to tip the person after the picture. 2 soles per person is a good tip. You can give more if you like.

Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Church and Convent of Santo Domingo of Guzmán is a historic site in Peru, built on the sacred Inca temple Qorikancha. The space was given to the Dominican order during Spanish colonization, leading to the construction of the convent in 1534. The site showcases a fusion of Inca walls and colonial architecture, with parts of the Inca temple now serving as a museum displaying rooms where worship to various Incan deities took place.
We didn't book tickets and just paid 20 soles to get in. No lines. There's a lot to see inside, definitely worth it.. We didn't hire a tour guide. Inside there's English text and you can also scan a qr code with a thorough summary of each room. Upstairs there is also an exhibition. We spent a total of 1 hr to explore
Nixie — Google review
This is a really cool place to visit if you are acclimating in Cusco. This museum is not very expensive to visit but quite interesting and very beautiful. Because the church is not too busy it is quite calming to walk through after you have visited the hectic city. It is not necessary to book a tour from one of the people who will offer you one before you reach the ticket booth. The old Inca temples on which the church has been built have been restored and open to walk through inside. So it is also possible to visit during a rainy day. There are some signs with information in English and Spanish. The architecture is fantastic to see. There are some artworks as well, one of them is the famous Milky Way by Miguel Araoz. It is a very beautiful and impressive painting! We had a great time here and can certainly recommend this to everyone!
Sam H — Google review
This complex represents one of the most powerful historical statements in Cusco. Built atop the most important Inca structure, Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), the Santo Domingo Convent beautifully demonstrates the architectural clash and fusion of the two cultures. The convent itself is a striking example of Spanish colonial architecture, with serene courtyards, arched cloisters, and Baroque chapels. However, the most humbling experience is seeing how its foundations—the Inca walls—have protected the entire structure through centuries of powerful earthquakes. This is a must-see for anyone interested in how the Spanish repurposed sacred Inca space for the Christian faith. The blend of Catholic iconography and masterful Inca stonework is absolutely fascinating.

Visiting the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in Oaxaca was a truly enchanting experience! 🌟 From the moment I walked through its grand entrance, I was captivated by the beauty and serenity of this historic site. The architecture is simply stunning, with intricate details and a timeless elegance that speaks to its rich history. 🏛️ The interior of the church is equally impressive. The golden altar and ornate decorations are breathtaking, creating an atmosphere of reverence and awe. ✨ As I wandered through the convent, I felt a deep sense of peace and contemplation. The beautiful gardens and peaceful cloisters provide a perfect space for reflection and relaxation. 🌿 One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the museum, which houses an incredible collection of artifacts and artwork. The exhibits offer a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and religious heritage of Oaxaca, making the experience both educational and inspiring. 🎨 The staff at the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán were friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and share insights about the history and significance of the site. 👩‍🏫 Their passion for preserving this cultural treasure is evident and greatly appreciated. Overall, my visit was an unforgettable experience that left me with a deeper appreciation for the history and beauty of Oaxaca. 🏞️ Highly recommend!

Templo del San Blas, a church in Cusco, is renowned for its exquisite artistry and unique architecture. The intricately carved pulpit, believed to be the finest in the world, showcases a fusion of indigenous and colonial artistic traditions. Located in the artisan quarter of San Blas neighborhood, this cultural gem stands on the site of an Incan temple dedicated to the god of thunder and lightning.
Very impressive "small" church with an interesting mix of influences. The painted ceiling and roof beams are particularly impressive and worth more careful study; it's just a pity that photography is not allowed. A trip up the 'bell tower' is well worth it for the view over the square as well as the extended town & country beyond.

Q'enco Archaeological Complex, situated just outside Cusco, Peru, is a captivating ancient Inca site featuring intricate rock carvings and underground passages. This ceremonial center showcases the Incas' advanced understanding of astronomy and spiritual traditions. Visitors can explore the mysterious carvings and descend into the underground chambers to gain unique insights into Inca religious and ceremonial practices.
This place was very cool. Not totally different than the other sites in the area but smaller and less crowded which I don’t mind at all. The views were just incredible and of course the stone work is beyond impressive. They had locals selling little items as well as water and snacks
Michael H — Google review
Q'enqo is one of the most intriguing stops outside Cusco. Its name means "zigzag" or "labyrinth," which is fitting given the intricate channels carved into the massive rock formation. The highlight is the semi-circular underground chamber carved directly into the bedrock, which served as a crucial ritual site—likely for embalming, sacrifices, or worshipping Pachamama (Mother Earth). The smooth, carved "altar" inside is truly mysterious. It’s a great place to feel the profound spiritual energy of the Inca civilization. Don't miss the chance to try to spot the subtle carvings of the puma!
Michal R — Google review
Walking through its cool underground chambers carved entirely from solid limestone feels almost otherworldly, as if the rock itself holds ancient secrets. No one knows exactly what rituals took place here, but many believe it was a ceremonial centre for sacrifices and astronomical observations, perhaps dedicated to the worship of the sun or the puma.

Robert M — Google review
Imagine an Inca Costco, Raqch’i was once a major administrative and religious center along the royal highway, complete with food storage, temples, and enough stonework to make modern masons weep. The centerpiece is the Temple of Wiracocha, one of the largest roofed Inca structures ever discovered, though today only the mighty central wall still stands, flanked by columns that look like they forgot the rest of their bodies. This site served as both a military checkpoint and a spiritual pit stop. At its peak, Raqch’i housed over 200 cylindrical qollqas (Inca granaries), proving the Incas really were the OG preppers. Personally found it oddly peaceful — maybe because there’s fewer tourists, maybe because the llamas here seem to judge you less. Located 3,480m above sea level and roughly 120km from Cuzco, this was a key stop along the Qhapaq Ñan (Inca Royal Road). You’re basically walking in the ghost-steps of messengers, merchants, and the occasional priest with altitude sickness. Quirky bonus: The walls are part stone, part adobe, like someone couldn’t commit to a single Pinterest aesthetic. Best enjoyed with a sense of awe, sturdy shoes, and a tolerance for alpaca side-eye.

Well worth a visit to see another perspective on ancient Inca life. The area contains around 5,000 round grain and food storage and preservation structures (not all uncovered or on display), remnants of defensive walls and communal dormitories. All with the backdrop of the remains of the volcano that provided some of the construction stone.

CK C — Google review
Abra La Raya, marking the border between the Cusco and Puno regions of Peru, offers a captivating experience for travelers exploring the high Andes. Positioned at an altitude of 4335 meters, this mountain pass not only provides breathtaking views of the Andes mountain range, including the snowy Chimboya, but also serves as a historical trade route that was crucial during the Inca period. Visitors to Abra La Raya can expect to see a vibrant display of local culture. Artisans from the region are often present, offering traditional crafts and textiles primarily made from alpaca, which is a staple of the local economy. The scenery at this high pass, with its panoramic mountain views and the iconic Andean fauna such as llamas and alpacas grazing nearby, creates a picturesque setting that is both awe-inspiring and deeply tranquil. Travelers are advised to take a moment to enjoy this unique landscape, where the air is thin and the cultural history is palpable. Whether you’re passing through on a tour bus or exploring the area in a more leisurely fashion, Abra La Raya provides a memorable experience that highlights the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Andes.

Saint Peter the Apostle of Andahuaylillas

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
This 16th-century church dubbed the "Sistine Chapel of the Andes" offers ornate murals & decor.
Amazing find in a small village. Worth the time and small entrance fee The artwork is amazing and covers the ceilings and every inch of the walls. The gold and silver covered alter area is beautiful, but the charm of this small church is from the combination of materials used and the restored frescoes. The town is easily accessible from Cusco. A few of the pictures are of the square where the church is located.

A catholic church in a very small village. The inside of the church is very ornate with lots of gold and silver. The church is still used for services and is open to tourist for a small fee of 17 sols.

I like to visit this church. It's nice stop on the way from Cuzco to Puno. It's quite quiet and from outside it looks just like ordinary church, but inside it's pretty rich decoration anywhere you look. The entrance ticket costs 18 s/ and it's totally worth it. There's also small shop with nice souvenirs and they have clean toilets too. You can also buy some coffee in the stores nearby the church.

The sistine chapel of south America. Well worth seeing inside, no photos allowed. Village is very cute
Francois E — Google review
It's quite lovely but no photography allowed at all. It shows the connection between the Catholicism and Inca tradition in all the representations of the saints and art all incorporated into the art and depictions, so definitely interesting.

Beautiful Colonial church in a remote village that used to be an Inca center. The Spanish built it right here in the center to show their dominance over the indigenous population. The inside is full of paintings, frescos, and altars, covered in gold leaf.

Archaeological site
Ancient Ruins
Pre-Columbian ruins of a vast sacred site for rituals, with many stone foundations & avenues.
This ancient did was more incredible than I expected. The wall around the entire city has sections of double-walked pathways and it appears some buildings may have been a couple stories high. The community layout here was very well organized and it was peaceful place to walk around. These ruins were a pleasant surprise.

It's very interesting to see the difference in the architecture of this pre Inca civilization. It's amazing how vast the site is. If you went without a tour, I'm sure you could find some interesting stuff uphill. It was fine with a tour as well.
David R — Google review
Very amazing site, not too crowded. It was built by the Wari/Huari, who were eventually conquered by the Inca (coming from Lake Titicaca). But many of their technologies and knowledge were preserved in the Incan empire.
Jerry Z — Google review
Pikillaqta was a peaceful and underrated site. It is very different from the other Inca ruins, with long straight walls and a large layout. You can see how the Wari people built this city before the Inca came. It feels quiet and open, with great views of the valley and lake nearby. There were very few people when we visited, which made it more enjoyable. If you are interested in history and like visiting places without crowds, this one is worth the stop.

Pukara
Machupicchu A — Google review
If Machu Picchu is the Beyoncé of ancient Peru, then Pukara is that underrated band from the ’70s archaeologists secretly obsess over. Nestled in the Puno highlands at a breezy 3,900 meters above sea level, this pre-Inca site predates the Incas by at least 500 years. Yeah, the Pukara civilization was flexing pyramids and ceremonial platforms around 200 BC, while the Incas were still figuring out quinoa. The site’s got a massive sunken plaza, sculpted monoliths, and a hilltop fortress or what’s left of it, thanks to centuries of looting, weathering, and the occasional overly curious llama. Bonus: there’s a quaint Museo Litico de Pukara nearby showcasing decapitated stone heads and alpaca-free history panels. Come for the eerie silence, stay for the realization that this culture thrived when Rome was still trying to figure out plumbing. Just don’t expect snack bars, WiFi, or oxygen in abundance. Stats flex: - Civilization: Pukara Culture (200 BC–300 AD) - Altitude: 3,900 m - Location: ~100 km north of Puno - Museum entry: Separate, but affordable Minus one star for lacking toilets and consistent signage. Plus four stars for stone heads and cosmic vibes.

Tres Chimbadas Lake Lodge

Mentioned on

Lodge

Bodies of Water
Tres Chimbadas Lodge is a unique destination nestled in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. Visitors can embark on a serene boat ride around Tres Chimbadas Lake, where they can observe caimans, otters, and orioles while enjoying the tranquil sounds of howler monkeys in the background. The lodge is owned by the Ese Eja community, offering an authentic and immersive experience.
An experience of a lifetime! The lodge is beautiful and living quarters are what you would expect for a lodge in the middle of the jungle. They only turn electricity on for a few hours a day but it really made the experience that much better because you don't need it while you are there. Jamie was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He took us on a night walk and long day hike through the jungle. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We had a great time exploring and getting to know the habitat. The food and service was excellent. Fresh local juices and food was served everyday and it delicious. And, they provided plenty of fresh drinking water for our entire stay. The only warning I will give is that the trip to and from the airport is interesting. The roads of Puerto Maldonado are poor so be prepared to be bumped around for about an hour before getting on the boat. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and I hope to visit again one day. Thank you Tres Chimbadas!
Jackie C — Google review
This is a spectacular place for anyone searching peace amidst the jungle, by a lake. The lodge is owned by the Ese Eja community, who are welcoming and kind and helpful. They showed us their farm, hw to fish, how to harvest Brazil nuts in the forest and much more. We had our yoga retreat there and it surely shall long be remembered cordially. There are four bungalows with bathrooms with two beds and then rooms with two or three beds which do not have their own bathroom. One has to walk through the jungle forest to get to the lodge for about 30 minutes from the boat (Tambopata river). There is only cold water available but in the temperatures there it´s just fine. The food was delicious.

Mariposario Tambopata, located near the Puerto Maldonado airport in Peru, is a well-maintained butterfly conservation where visitors can witness a diverse array of butterfly species. Despite its small size, the farm offers an opportunity to observe around 8-10 different butterfly species. It's an affordable and interesting stopover for those with time to spare before a flight, providing a chance to capture beautiful photos and learn about native butterflies.
Nice variety of butterflies.

Pathetic attempt at a last-minute tourist trap. Several agencies, for some reason, insist on taking clients to this butterfly house on the way to the airport just 200mtrs away. We almost lost our flight because of this. The place itself is falling apart, and is pretty small. I suspect that they try to atay alive on the back of the cafe on the back. Nobody in our group stopped - what was the point? You'll either have time in the airport for a coffee & cake, or you really are desperate to get to your flight.

Lake

Lago Sandoval is a remote jungle lake that offers an incredible wildlife experience. Visitors can hire local guides to explore the surrounding rainforest on foot or take a boat trip to the lake. The area is home to diverse wildlife, including crocodiles, monkeys, river otters, giant Amazon fish like Arapaima, and black caimans. Additionally, the lake is inhabited by a family of giant river otters and surrounded by various monkey species and sloths.
Lots of wonderful wildlife to observe here. We were very fortunate to see the family of giant river otters that inhabit the lake up close. The wet season made the walk through the jungle to get there more challenging but still doable for most people of reasonable mobility. They are installing a boardwalk that was incomplete in places but should be completed soon and will greatly improve the accessibility for all independent of the season.

The Chico Mendes Memory Center in Xapuri is a simple wood house where the environmental activist lived until his tragic murder in 1988. Visitors can take tours that provide a vivid account of the moment he was shot, with bloodstains still visible on the walls. Across the street, the Chico Mendes Foundation center houses poster-sized photos of Mendes, personal items, and international awards.

In Rio Branco there are places with more information and history about Chico Mendes' life than his own house. This is literally it, the house where he lived his last days and remains the same. We were disappointed, because we thought there would be more material to learn about his life, etc. (Original) Uma pena que a casa da pessoa mais famosa do Acre quase não tenha informações e dados para tornar o local mais atrativo ao turista que se deslocar até Xapuri.

The presentation of the house, the life and death of Chico Mendes is well done. It is possible to imagine the life of his family and friends and "see" all the events that led to his death. Next door there is a small museum that shows how rubber tappers lived. Everything is done with great care. Little by little, gradually, Acre is growing and positioning itself more strongly on the national scene. Congratulations to the people of Acre for their struggle!

It should be a respectful memorial with one or two employees to receive tourists and allow them to enter the house. It was closed, but I could at least go into the yard and imagine his last steps. (Original) É uma casa convidativa para visita, realmente uma graça. Mas infelizmente nao tem o cuidado e relevancia que necessitava, por ser lugar onde Chico Mendes viveu e foi mort0.

Regarding food, there are stalls selling churros, pastries, açaí, popcorn, and other items, in addition to some nearby restaurants. The location has paid parking. However, if you choose to park outside, you'll likely have to deal with parking attendants, which can make the experience a little unpleasant.
