Lovely city. Also visited the Quebrada de Sillar which was fascinating. It is the quarry where the stones are cut from which much of the city is built.

It was ok, city/country tour was underwhelming and centro is pretty though not that interesting.

Be sure to go to Santa Catalina Monastery. Peru should do something to their urban motor pollution problem.
