The Church of the Society of Jesus, located on the Plaza Mayor in Cusco, Peru, is an architectural marvel of the Baroque style, built in the 16th century atop the remains of an Incan palace. Its gold leaf altars, intricate wood carvings, and the expansive high altar offer stunning photo opportunities, especially when the interior is lit by natural light streaming through the stained glass windows. Directly outside, Plaza Mayor de Cusco, also known as the Plaza de Armas, provides a picturesque setting with colonial arcades, beautiful gardens, and a blend of historic Incan and Spanish colonial architecture. Early mornings or late afternoons serve best for soft, photogenic lighting, and the bustling square provides endless street photography possibilities with local vendors, traditional performances, and contrasting urban and historical elements.
