Archaeological complex featuring stone pillars topped with adobe. This complex town of multiple constructions, even the terraces to cultivate had different purposes. "Kanchas" (apartments), "wayranas" (three walls building), "qolqas" (storages), urns, he religious fountains, etc. The most important building is the "Wiracocha temple" that was built by the Inca Wiracocha in honour to the superior God for the Andean people: "Apu Wiracocha".
Andahuaylillas Valley The village of Andahuaylillas (3450m/11335 ft) is about 36 km southeast of Cusco. The original name is Antawaylla, Quechua name means "field of copper"- is a small village said to have a benign climate and easy-going people. The main attraction is the “Church of San Pedro of Andahuaylillas”. Using a common form of intimidation throughout the new world, by the Conquistadores; this Catholic Church, was built in 1631, after the conquest, on the base of an ancient Inca temple. The church is a simple construction, made of thick adobe mud-brick walls, common in colonial buildings, and features a relatively modest structure: a single nave with a bell tower and a facade with two solid stone columns that stand out against the others around the main entrance. While the exterior of the church looks rather humble, it is the interior, that makes this one of the most valuable jewels of the colonial art in Peru, sometimes called the “Capilla Sixtina” or "Sistine Charpel" of America
