Just in this church there are an average of 350 oil paintings. The next attraction is Qoricancha the temple of the sun, it’s the greatest shrine, located in the middle of  incan downtown; there were inside it chapels or chambers dedicated to the incan gods  many of them tore down so over the incan foundation of it has been built Santo Domingo Church.

Then, we will move onto another important Inca site known as Qenqo, a kind of rock outcrop below under the rock can be seen passageway carving on living rock;  it’s the the temple of the mother earth; eventually for others this being a kind of shrine was the place where the priests, the inca himself, philosophers, soothsayers, fortune tellers drunk psychotropic medicines to help their bodies get rid of toxins; actually they were able to forsee their future with this hallucinogens such Ayahuasca or San Pedrito; this idea has been given by american scholar Willian Sullivan in his book “The Secret of the Incas”.  The next one is Pucapucara a kind of place for resting (lodge), on the walls of it can be seen iconographical figures such as seal, pig, snake, llama, tortoise, incan dog and a happy puppy.
