Of the several churches in Cuzco, the 17th-century La Merced and its monastery
San Francisco Belen de los Reyes, Santa Clara and San Blas are the most
interesting, representative as they do of a blend of Spanish Colonial and
Indian architecture. Overlooking Cuzco is the immense fortress of Sacsayhuaman.
Also easily accessible are the Inca sites of Kenko, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay,
and the markets of Pisac (Tuesdays, Thursday and Sundays) and Chincheros
are also an attraction. The Inka City of Cuzco is also the main entry point

the Incas and the exciting Urubamba and Vilcanota River Rafting locations.
