Point 4. In the sacred valley, in and around Cusco, you can visit churches that were pre-conquest temples. They put a crucifix and alter up front and replaced the pagan gods and goddesses in the little wall alcoves with equivalent patron saints.

Thank you for this fascinating read.
Glad you enjoyed it, David!
