My Suggested Peru Itineraries: From 1 Week to 1 Month

"I highly recommended visiting the Santa Catalina convent: it occupies an entire city block, was founded in 1580, and offers striking cloisters, chapels, and an art gallery — a guided tour for about 20 soles gives much more history and context and lasts around an hour." - Matthew Kepnes
