we visited the q'orikancha (however u spell that). its name means something like golden yard. because it was one of the main inca temples. and it was supposedly filled with gold. nways. when the spanish came. they destroyed it and built a "christian" temple on top of it. in an effort to convert the incas. they just got some terrible sincretism going on, jaja.
we also visited many other local museums, walked around had some lunch. and then in the evening went to have some "coffee" (actually desserts, and juice) to el café de mama oli. i totally recomend it. 5 stars people. hmm not sure the name of the plazuela or street. but u can ask around. people will tell u how to get there.
after that they were celebrating some arequipa holiday outside and there was a band playing, and they had built something like a small fireworks show. we waited around to see it. they gave us some stuff to drink and offered us soup. but they took forever to light the thing so we left. we had already bought the bus tickets for puno and left that night at 10pm (i believe, or something like that)
