One of the most popular tourist attractions in Cusco is the Inca ruins of Sacsayhuaman. The site is located just a few kilometers from the city center and features impressive megalithic walls made of massive stones weighing up to 200 tons. The ruins are believed to have been a fortress and religious center for the Incas. Another must-visit attraction in Cusco is the Qorikancha Temple. This was once the most important temple in the Inca Empire and was dedicated to the sun god Inti. The temple was built with the finest materials and adorned with gold and precious stones. After the Spanish conquest, the temple was converted into a convent, and many of its original features were destroyed. However, visitors can still see some of the original stonework and learn about the history of the temple.
