elMagsie: Qorikancha - colonial monastery built on Incan foundations in Cusco

elMagsie: It was a bit chilly in Cusco, so one of the first things we bought was alpaca socks at the market to keep our feet cozy on the chilly apartment floor

elMagsie: Typical Cusco style art with the elongated necks
elMagsie: Cusco Cathedral
elMagsie: Gold-plated Incan!
