We finally got to sleep in! We had a quick hotel breakfast and then Damny picked us up for our final morning in Cusco. We were taken to Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park and learned a lot about the known and unknown history of the fortress that was built there.
We went back to the city centre and went inside the church that we had passed many time but this time entered. It was very different than what I expected. Lots of Peruvian art that had been heavily influenced by the Spanish during their crusading and missionary work, imposing Catholicism in a way that the Peruvans could understand. This led to a lot of different styles of art, sculptures, interpretations and ideals about Christianity and also modern art and culture that influenced the spiritual sector of Peru and beyond!
We had time for a quick lunch before we were taken to the airport to fly to Lima. We arrived late in the evening and referenced our airplane napkin again to walk to a place called Punto Azul. The portions were huge and with drinks to match (Pisco Sour for Max)! Another lovely evening, cool and dry just walking around the capital of Peru.
