The Plaza de Armas is one of the most beautiful in the whole of Peru, with its baroque churches and charming colonnaded balconies. The enormous Belgian organ and intricately carved pulpit of the magnificent Cathedral in the plaza is a show-stopper.
The districts of Yanahuara and Cayma are a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and feature mixed baroque churches and mansions from the colonial period. The highlight of the tour is the serene Monastery of Santa Catalina, a Spanish city in miniature with stone streets, beautiful patios, and plazas.
