Igleia de -San Pedro - Church Andahuaylillas
En la plaza de Armas y rodeada de árboles Pisonay (árboles de coral ) , de Palma y de tres cruces labradas que simbolizan la Trinidad está la iglesia de los Jesuitas , llamada de San Pedro y conocida como la Capilla Sixtina del Arte Andino
Empiezas por el baptisterio en el que se lee "yo te bautizo en el nombre del Padre , del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo . Amen" en cinco idiomas: latín, español, quechua, aymara y pukina . Sigues viendo los murales que están debajo del coro en los que se ven alegorías del cielo y el infierno y a partir de allí te pierdes en los frescos que cubren las paredes y especialmente el techo con figuras geométricas y flores doradas . En el altar de cedro , barroco y dorado se encuentra la virgen del Rosario y unos espejos que reflejan la luz y permitían al sacerdote controlar a la gente mientras decía la misa.
In the Plaza de Armas and surrounded by pisonay (coral tree) , Palma trees and of three carved crosses that represent theTrinity is the Jesuits church of San Pedro , known as the Andean Sixtine Chapel
You start in the baptistery where you can read "I baptize you in the name of the Father , the Son and the Holly Spirit"written in five languages : Latin , Spanish , Quechua , Aymara and Pukina .
You continue watching the murals that are under the choir where you see the Hell and the Glory representations and from there you loose yourself with the frescoes that cover the walls and spetially the roofs with golded geometrical figures and animals .
In the barroque golded cedar altar is the Rosary Virgin and some mirrors that reflect the light and also alowed the priest to control the attendants while he said the Mass

Rumicola
Esta gran construcción Inca , edificada en la parte más estrecha del valle , fue un acueducto Huari que se consideraba la entrada principal al Valle Sagrado y era allí donde se pagaban los impuestos de entrada
Tiene algunas paredes hechas con piedras naturales y otras con piedras pulidas según el estilo Inca . De las paredes salen unas piedras que hacen la vez de escaleras para subir los cuatro niveles
This big Inca construction , built in the narrowest part of the valley , it was an aqueduct >Huari that was considered the main gate of the Sacred Valley and there they paid the entrance taxes

In the wall , protrude some stones that are used as staircase to climb the four levels

Andahuaylillas: the Sistine Chapel of the Americas
The beautiful chapel contains breathtaking frescos, paintings, and a lavish altar. As I had expected, however, the chapel doesn't match the Sistine chapel in the Vatican. Heck, it is not even the most beautiful chapel in Peru. Nevertheless, it is beautiful in its own right and it’s amazing how such a marvel can be built in such a small town.

Sixtine Chaple of the Americas
This stretches it a bit but that is what they call this beautiful church and the murals are spectacular. A great example of Smanish Religious art mixing with Inca craftsmen.
