About
Urcos, Canincunca gets its name from the narrow pass located en route from Cusco to Puno. Construction of the chapel began at the beginning of the XVII century and consists of a single nave, with inner walls which are richly decorated with murals and gold leaf ribbons. Many of them represent flowers, fruits, birds and symbols that are reminiscent of the pallais, geometric designs used by Andean weavers in their textiles.

Empezamos el domingo visitando la laguna de Urcos, completamente hermosa. Desde allí se puede ir caminando hasta la capilla de Canincunca. La visita vale completamente la pena. Es pequeña pero con mucho detalle en el interior. Si eres cusqueño o residente puedes entrar gratis :)

Estimada Carlota, gracias por su comentario, nos agrada saber que la capilla y sus alrededores fueron de su agrado. La Capilla Virgen Purificada de Canincunca, es parte de la Ruta del Barroco Andino, que comprende 4 templos en total. Efectivamente el ingreso de Cusqueños es gratis, mostrando su DNI.

Puede pasar desapercibida, junto a la ruta que lleva a Urcos. Pero ahora ha sido puesta en valor. Yo la visité con mi familia el año 2013. En pleno proceso de restauración. Un pequeño templo, lleno de riqueza. El retabllo del templo en Canincunca con la imagen central de la Virgen Purificada de la Candelaria. Muy hermoso. Con muchos detalles.

Esta es una de las 3 iglesias que hacen parte dela Ruta del barroco Andino junto con la de San Pedro Apostol y la Virgen Purificada. Al igual que esta ultima se nota que fueron afectadas por el paso del tiempo y por lo que vimos estan tratando de mantenerlas, ojala lo logren. Detras hay una hermosa laguna y por el otro lado un cementerio

La capilla por fuera se ve sencilla, pero adentro sus paredes están completamente pintadas. Es un contraste total entre la fachada y el interior. Vale la pena ingresar. Además la vista de la laguna es hermosa desde aquí.

Any contact with Andean Baroque is magical. Firstly because this is a consolidated artistic and architectural tourism route, where we find true Baroque gems. The woodwork, altarpieces, ceiling paintings and gold ornaments make this Chapel rich in Andean Baroque and with a great impact on general culture. This is because the Baroque was an extremely portentous and exaggerated period, but one that had a striking identity at its core. It is important to understand that these Andean Baroque churches reflect Cusco indigenous art.

Hice una visita al lugar el reciente 30 de diciembre. Una verdadera joya. Además acompañan un cementerio en la ladera de la colina vecina a la iglesia y la laguna de Urcos. Este sitio tiene origen Wari y se entiende, pues cerca están Piquillacta y Rumicolca.
