Una pequeña cuidad dentro de la cuidad. El monasterio me sorprendió y de buena forma. Se recomienda pagar por un guía ya que si haces el recorrido solo no entenderás nada. Lo que mas me gusto: los hornos, la cocina en general, y esta calle. Calle Córdoba, blanca con las características flores rojas.
This 16th century monastery is a joy to explore, especially with a camera. It's a total maze and a riot of colour. Join a guided tour and learn all about the strict lives of the nuns who lived there. Entry is 40 soles, or about US$12. Guided tours are 20 sole extra per group. #Red

DJ

Get a guide - we did it without one and it was a little dull after a while - the stories of the inhabitants are what makes it cool
