Cusco

Museo de Arte Precolombino
This small yet fascinating museum is set within the grand, spacious confines of the Earl of Cabrera's colonial mansion. It is dedicated to the artistic achievements of the various ancient Peruvian cultures and houses a superb collection of artefacts from the Moche, Chimú, Paracas, Nazca and Inca cultures. Dating from 1250 to 1532, these archaeological treasures include carvings, ceramics, and gold- and silver-work.

Inca walls
Whilst not tourist attractions in the obvious sense, these stunning architectural achievements are worth seeking out and are works of art in their own right. The finest examples of classical Inca stonework are on Calle Loreto, which features the oldest wall in Cusco, and Hatunrumiyoc, which includes a technically brilliant, celebrated 12-sided stone cut to precisely fit the wall.
