What to do in Cusco Peru - Jesus Statue
While taking a walk through San Blas, Cusco we saw a sign for Cristo Blanco and decided to follow it...big mistake.
The trail led to hundreds of steps, wild dogs, dirt paths, tracks through backyards and a steep incline. But we did make it to safely to the Cristo Blanco or the white statue of Jesus looking over the city of Cusco.
Then we found a much easier path to Cristo Blanco.
So this video shows you both our path and the easier path.
Have Fun!

Peru: a visit of Cristo Blanco Walk above Cusco
There is a white Jesus statue with spread arms just as you might know from São Paulo on the hills of Cusco. The walk through the old district and steep cobble stone streets is a great way to explore the backdoors of Cusco with all its little details to enjoy. The walk leads you to an impressive Church named San Cristobal. Not many tourists get here but it is worth taking an afternoon to enjoy a breathtaking view into the valley and greater Cusco.
Cristo blanco (White Christ) in Cuzco, Peru
The statue of Cristo Blanco (White Christ) is located on top of a hill high above Cuzco, Peru, and is not far from the Sacsayhuamán ruins.
Made from white stone, the statue is also illuminated during the night time. Cristo Blanco was built in 1945, you can see the year on his back. It was a parting gift for the city, from a group of Christian Palestinians. The statue has served as a reminder that good deeds do not go unnoticed.

Cusco's Christo Blanco/ White Christ Statue
Similar to the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Cusco, Peru has its own version known as Christo Blanco or White Christ.
World's biggest Christ statue to tower over... supermarket
The biggest statue of Christ in the world will no longer tower over Rio de Janeiro but Swiebodzn, a village in western Poland. Instead of looking down on sun-kissed beaches, the 38-metre-high structure will look over an empty plain and a supermarket.Duration: 01:03
White Crist of Cuzco, Peru
The statue of Cristo Blanco (White Christ) is located on top of a hill high above Cuzco, Peru, and is only about a ten minute hike from the Sacsayhuamán ruins. The statue depicts Christ extending his arms to the sides, not unlike the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio. However, the Cristo Blanco is not nearly as tall.
Made from white stone, the statue is also illuminated during the night time, so you can see it from Cuzco. Cristo Blanco was built by a group of Christian Palestinians that were seeking refuge in Cuzco in 1945. It was a symbol of their gratitude toward the city, and was their parting gift when they finally returned to their home country. Since then, the statue has served as a reminder to the people of Cuzco that good deeds do not go unnoticed.
The location of Cristo Blanco is well-known for the statue, but also for the view of Cuzco. Many tourists visit this location just so they can get beautiful panoramic photos of Cuzco's skyline. This is a must-see in the city of Cuzco

쿠스코 시내가 한눈에 내려다보이는 평화의 동산. 안데스의 산봉우리처럼 거대한 예수상이 도시를 굽어보며 서있다. 승리의 정복자는 이제 잉카의 땅을 떠났지만, 쓸쓸한 십자가 무덤들을 보며 나는 생각했다. 하나의 문화는 왜, 다른 하나를 철저히 파괴한 후에야 자신의 존재 의미를 확인 할 수 있는 것인지.

Garden of Peace overlooking downtown Cusco at a glance. Yesusang is like a huge mountain peaks of the Andes stands overlooking the city. Conqueror's victory has now left the land of the Incas, watching the lonely tomb cross, I thought. Why is one culture, only after destroying another one thoroughly check whether you can sense their presence.
[Spanish: Google Translator]
Jardín de la Paz con vistas al centro de Cusco en un vistazo. Yesusang es como un enorme picos de las montañas de los Andes destaca con vistas a la ciudad. La victoria de Conquistador ahora ha salido de la tierra de los Incas, mirando la cruz tumba solitaria, pensé. ¿Por qué es una cultura, sólo después de la destrucción de otra visita a fondo si se puede sentir su presencia.

Corpus Christi, Cusco, Pérou
Corpus Christi est la cérémonie catholique dédiée au corps et au sang du Christ présents dans l’eucharistie. On la fête le jeudi 60 jours après pâques. C’est le vice roi Francisco de Toledo qui a instauré ce rituel en 1572, pour supplanter les vénérations de momies héritées des Incas. Selon la tradition de Cusco, la veille de la fête religieuse, les 15 saints de la ville descendent de leur autel pour se réunir autour du Seigneur des tremblements.
10 jours avant, la Vierge de Belén, sainte patronne de la ville de Cusco, a été emporté avec saint Joseph en procession jusqu’à l’église Santa Clara, où ils attendent d’être rejoints le mercredi suivant par les autres saints. Les statues des 15 principaux saints patrons sont à leur tour emmenées en procession à l’église Santa Clara, où elles sont disposées sur les autels latéraux en attendant de suivre le Seigneur des Tremblements dans la nef centrale le lendemain.

Saqsaywaman - Peru
La costruzione di Saqsaywaman fu iniziata dal nono Inca Pachakuteq tra il 1438 e il 1500.
Era un centro cerimoniale molto importante e così ben protetto, da diventare una sorta di fortezza, quando gli Inca dovettero difendersi dall'invasione spagnola.
Oggi del bellissimo sito, che domina Cusco, rimangono solo le mura.
Corpus Christi Celebration - Cusco, Peru - June 27, 2019
June 27, 2019 - Cusco, Peru
The Corpus Christi Celebration in Cusco, Peru. During this event, each of the churches in Cusco create a religious statue, then groups of men carry around the statues thru the street. The statues were so ornate and detailed, to be honest, I was expecting one of these to be dropped! Luckily that did not happen...
All of the music was AMAZING!

아르마스광장 중심에 자리한 쿠스코 대성당은 잉카시대의 비라코차 신전을 허문 터 위에 세워졌다. 1560년 건축을 시작해 장장 100년 동안 지었다는 성당. 그 지붕엔 남미의 성당 중 가장 큰 종이 있다. 성당 내부는 하나의 예술작품처럼 아름답다. 세계 2위의 은 생산량을 자랑하듯, 중앙 제단에 들어간 은만도 300톤이 넘는다고 한다. 태양신 문양의 관을 쓴 성모마리아상. 세계적인 종교 카톨릭도 페루에서만큼은 문화의 혼혈성 하에서만 받아들여진 듯해 흥미로웠다. 검은 예수. 1650년 쿠스코에 대지진이 났을 때 예수상이 불에 크게 그슬려졌는데, 그 순간 지진이 멈춰 큰 피해를 막았다고 한다. 그 후 예수는 ‘지진의 신’으로 숭배 되었고, 갈색 예수상이 있는 이 재단의 촛불은 항상 켜 놓는다고 한다. 성당에 있는 400여 점의 종교화 중 메스티소 화가인 마르코스 사파타의 작품, '최후의 만찬'은 가장 유명한 그림이다. 특히 예수와 열 두 제자의 만찬 상에 오른 음식이 눈길을 사로잡는다. 쿠스코의 명물 요리, ‘쿠이’다. 예부터 흰색은 선한 것을, ‘검은색은 악한 것을 의미한다.’믿었던 잉카인들. 화가는 예수를 배반한 가롯 유다의 얼굴을, 잉카제국을 피로 물들인 프란시스코 피사로 의 얼굴로 그리고, 유독 그의 얼굴만 검은색으로 칠해 악인의 모습을 표현했다. “화가는 정복자 프란시스코 데 피사로를 유다의 얼굴로 바꿔놓았습니다. 그 이유는 프란시스코 데 피사로가 쿠스코에 많은 악행을 저질렀기 때문입니다. 그래서 피사로를 악인으로 나타내었습니다.” “쿠스코 사람들은 정복자 피사로에 대해서 어떻게 생각합니까?” “피사로는 악인으로 생각하지만 스페인 사람들에 대해서는 그렇게 생각하지 않습니다.” 성당에는 칼을 든 정복자 피사로로 상징되는 스페인군과 그 밑에 무력으로 억압받는 잉카인들을 형상화한 조형물이 있다. 잉카제국이 멸망한 후 이 성당의 별채에서는 가톨릭으로 개종하지 않은 원주민들에 대한 무참한 처형이 단행됐다.
