You can access the museum by paying either 70 soles for a single day tourist card, or 130 soles for a 10 day card. The card enables you to see most of the Inca sites in cusco!

Once upon a time, it is said, gilded leaves on trees illuminated by the sun made this place glow. Today some rudiments line the fenced meadows. This feeds the imagination, which takes many thoughts back to the old days and makes one aware of the historical terrain one is moving on.

Here it once stood, the temple of the sun. Must see. Very fascinating.
