LA CAPILLA
Offline map
In recent times the Instituto Nacional de Cultura (INC), in a characteristically controversi-
al move, demolished the church in the main square in order to reconstruct it in colonial
style. Masses, which have moved to a nearby chapel, are nonetheless worth visiting. On
Sunday, services are held in Quechua, attracting traditionally dressed locals blowing
horns, and
varayocs
(local authorities) with silver staffs of office.
