Last week my friends and I went of an amazing trip to Peru. We only had three days to be there so we went to one place per day. This is the story of my trip to Peru.
First we went to a monastery in Arequipa called Santa Catalina. I took the tour and it was amazing. The main attraction (for me) was the Center Square of the monastery. It was filled with beautifully colored flowers. There was a fountain that I was informed came from Spain.

Next I went to Chiclayo. This is where we found the Royal Tombs of Sipan. The man's real title is: Lord of Sipan. People were able to digitally reconstruct what he looked like, how old he was at the time of his death, and he was approximately 1.63 meters tall.

Finally we went to Cusco. I didn't have a lot of time this day because I had to catch a plane at 4 o'clock p.m. I went to a shrine called Qenqo. Qenqo is a hill that is carved into many different kinds of buildings. I walked to a patio that was quite popular around there. There was a picture made of stones that represented someone that looked very popular in the ancient world of the Incas.
