Later, we will visit the Monastery of Santa Catalina, an authentic medieval cloister built in 1579 that is still in use to this day. This mysterious convent was built with ashlar, the main material of local architecture, and it has an extension of 20 thousand square meters.

The first person who lived here was Maria de Guzman, a woman who decided to moved there during the construction of the convent after her husband, Diego Hernandez de Mendoza, passed away. Currently, there are still cloister nuns living in this fantastic small citadel.
Then, we will visit the district of Yanahuara. This neighbor has panoramic views to the Misti Volcano. It is a perfect place to take pictures.
