Lovely and interesting church - worth a visit
We spent some time exploring the cathedral when we were in Cusco. There were quite a few interesting things to see. We thought it particularly interesting to see how some of the art in the cathedral reflected native symbols as opposed to Christian symbols, reflecting the beliefs of some of the artists. This is an interesting place and I recommend going when you visit Cusco

Well worth the visit
As with all such churches, the visitor is overwhelmed by the history and the heavy decorations. But well worth it are some of the paintings from "the Cusco school' - especially the Last Supper where Our Lord is served a very Peruvian dish of roast 'cut' (guinea pig) for his last meal.... Very sweet.
