Well, what can I say about it? You will be there if you go to Cusco, and it is gorgeous! Enjoy, take your time. Also, have some food in your pocket or purse for some hungry skinny dogs that wonder around (not just this plaza... anywhere in Cusco)...

You can find all the tourist places in this square

This is a great place to see the history in Cuzco but also a great place to go back to for dinner and shopping. On the weekends you will find a parade, wedding, or musicians.

The plaza is located in the heart of the city and is a busy and attractive place. The plaza has a beautiful setting surrounded by churches and historic buildings. My wife and I enjoyed sitting on a park bench and watching both locals and tourists.
