It is the 3rd best Cathedrals in South America. It is simply awesome. you have to take the tour that it will be for aprox. 30 minutes, it is great and you will learn all you may want to know.

The cathedral is a beautiful structure from the outside, but there is so much more to see inside. Because the Quechuan people did not have a written language, the Spanish conquerors taught them what their new religion would be through art. There are many important paintings in this cathedral, including one of The Last Supper that has indigenous foods (including... More

The entrance fee was modest and it took us about 45 minutes to quietly enjoy the beauty and the interesting points of this cathedral. The black Messiah and the portrait of the Last Supper with the guinea pig are not to be missed.

Very disapointed at the no pictures policy. I understand the need to protect paintings etc, which is why most places limit to no flash. I won't remember all I need to without them, rendering the visit something that will end up forgotten.

Upon arrival to the township of Cusco, you can't miss this beautiful building n the middle of the main square. The cathedral is building, from the exterior and interior,

The cathedral in Cusco was AMAZING!!! It was completely covered in gold, with a giant Lord Jesus Christ on the cross in the front. (It was hilarious, a cooked guinea pig was on the painting of the last supper!!!)
