What to expect
he fortress was the largest structure built by the Incas. It was constructed on an elevated rocky promontory facing the northern marshy ground outside the Inca capital of Cuzco.
The Temple of Qorikancha was probably the most important and sacred temple of the Incas, not only for worshipping the Sun deity “Inti”, but for being the only temple that devoted itself entirely to worship ceremonies; there was never evidence of households in this area. Most chronicles agree on the description of the majesty of the Qorikancha temple, its walls made of calcite and andesite stone have a perfect finish and prevail over time, despite having endured 3 earthquakes (1650, 1749 y 1950)
It consists of a series of aqueducts, canals and waterfalls that run through the terraced rocks. The function of the site is uncertain: it may have served as a military outpost guarding the approaches to Cusco, as a spa resort for the Incan political elite, or both.
Although the original name of this sanctuary is not known, the Spanish conquerors decided to name the K'enko Quechua word that means "labyrinth" is called the Socorro hill and covers an area of just over 3,500 meters cuadradosacaso the labyrinthine underground galleries or small channels carved on rocks.
Museo Inka
The Museum is located in the city of Cusco, Peru. Previously it was called the Archeology Museum. It works in the colonial house Casa del Almirante. The place was the house of Huáscar during the Inca Empire. It was built by Admiral Francisco Alderete Maldonado at the beginning of the 17th century.
