Here you can go out onto the terrace and enjoy the view of the park below. Even here the Trinity is present. You can see the Condor, the snake and the puma embedded in the ground as art.
If you are lucky you can also spot hummingbirds in the bushes.

Quricancha, is well worth seeing because you can learn a lot about the Incas. The dark stones are all from the Inca period and are seamless and stacked without mortar. Inside you can also visit a lot. The church was of course only built later by the Spaniards and is certainly interesting for Catholics.

How I would have loved to look out over the Incas’ garden from here, with all the animals and plants made of pure gold.
