5. Coricancha

Qorikancha was the most important and elaborate temple of the Inca Empire. Qorikancha means golden courtyard and at the time of the Incas, the walls were covered in solid gold sheets. When the Spanish colonized the area, they demolished and looted parts of the temple and constructed the convent of Santo Domingo on top of it. The convent is still there today. Marvel at the original stonework, walk down corridors and through the chambers of Qorikancha and find clues to its former splendor.

Qorikancha, located in the city of Cusco in Peru, is so unique because the original Inca walls were used as the foundation for the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo. Thus, the site has a beautiful mix of Inca and Spanish architecture.

6. Salt Mines of Maras

The Salt Mines of Maras are a unique group of more than 3,000 working salt pans. With each pool positioned slightly lower than the last on the Andean hillside, the pans give the landscape an unusual and almost ethereal appearance.
