I’m glad I visited the Qorikancha , however I was a little disappointed and would definitely get a guide / tour next time. It was still interesting and the gardens were lovely.

Just seeing this place makes me want to go back in time and kick all the Conquistadores in the %$#. Can't believe they converted the center of the Inca civilization into a Monastary. It really must have been a site with all the gold and silver still in place.

This place was very meh. All the guidebooks I read seemed to rate this as a MUST see attraction, but I don't see what the fuss is about. I expected to be much more impressed, even though I had read a little about it beforehand and knew that basically there's not much left of the Qoricancha from the time the... More

If you read the reviews on Santo Domingo - count it as the same as this. There's no reason to divy up the sites for they are 1 and the same.

We enjoyed our tour here. It is very crowded. Easy to walk to from the Plaza de Armas.Try to go in the morning before the city tours start.

A history lesson in one site.

Shows that the Incas knew how to build to minimise eathquake damage. Well worth a visit.

I learned a lot at this terrific site and highly recommend visiting. If you are still getting used to the altitude and not staying nearby, take a taxi so you are not too tired by the walk.
