| Pulpito de San Blas |
Cusco is a beautiful city and a great tourist destination which not only has a beautiful natural landscape, but also a mystical and cultural wealth such as monuments, archaeological complexes, natural reserves, and churches or temples. There are bout 19th churches which were built by the Viceroy Andrés Hurtado Mendoza here in Cusco; Within these nineteen temples, the most visited ones are the Cathedral of Cusco and the church of San Blas. There are some reasons to suggest San Blas church as the most important one in Cusco.
The Church of San Blas is located in one of the most traditional streets of Cusco; the place is best known as the “Street of Artists.” Licenciado, Juan Polo Ondegardo was the person who gave the name "Church of San Blas" to this temple. The square which is next to it, has the name of "San Blas" as well.
Whenever you want to visit the church of San Blas, you will be able to see the wonderful works of art that this temple has. Among those are the famous pulpit which was made of cedar, and where you will see beautiful carvings of the eight heretics of Catholicism on the bottom, and the four apostles: San Marcos, San Mateo, Luke and John in the central part of the pulpit. You will also have the chanse to see the image of San Blas in the upper part of this masterpiece. All this great work of art was carved in a spectacular way; however, to this day, nobody knows who the author of this work of art was
I recommend to visit this beautiful church and learn a bit more about the Cusquenian culture which is really special due to the great diversity of tourist attractions.

ResponderBorrarThree years ago when I was eighteen years old, my friends and I went on holiday to Mancora.
We rented a rustic house on the beach.
We were to restaurants when the seafoodwas great! After we went to the beach.
The beaches were wonderful, the color of weather was blue. The weather waas very calm, the climate was perfect, the temperature was normally about 28 degrees.
In the mornings the climate was very sunny , this allowed that we went to the beach.
In the afternoons the climate was cloudy and the night was cold but the glimpse was beautiful for the sky of the stars and the moon.
This was really incredible.
I have a great time.

ResponderBorrarJanuary last year, I traveled to Lima with all my family.
We went to Lima by bus in the summer because the day is so sunny and I really enjoy it.
We were in my sister’s house for two weeks.
During the day we walked around the city looking all famous places such the Main Square and museums. It was amazing and we took a lot of photos.
Also we went to the beach.
The beach was perfect for taking sunbaths and swimming.
We didn’t forget to eat delicious and fresh seafood too; I have to admit that Ceviche here is different.
At nights the temperature was perfect to walk or to go to restaurants.
One night we went to the cinema. We saw a romantic film.
We really had a great time in Lima; I will always remember these holidays as the best in my life.
I’m going to come back the next holiday. I’m waiting for it.
