Qorikancha questions
Is Qorikancha included in the Cusco Tourist Ticket?
Only the underground site museum is covered by the Boleto Turístico. The temple and convent itself has its own separate ticket.
Should I hire a guide at Qorikancha?
It helps. Guides are available at the entrance and explain which walls are original Inca work and what each room was used for.
