The funding for Cristo Blanco was a donation by the Arabic Palestinian community who sought refuge in Cusco after World War II, in gratitude for the Cusquenos’ hospitality and sanctuary. The structure was created by local artist Francisco Olazo Allende, who also built the arc of Santa Clara. I was struck by the history behind the Cristo Blanco. The structure is eight meters high and overlooks the beautiful Cusco Valley. The tour started through the main Plaza and worked its way up the valley until culminating at Cristo Blanco or White Christ. Then we walked to the Plaza de Armas to hop on one of the double decker city tour buses. We started the day by having breakfast at Jack’s, a breakfast institution in Cusco. Chris and the kids had no Spanish classes that day, so we decided to spend the day as tourists in Cusco.
