Yes. The crypt holding the supposed remains of conquistador Francisco Pizarro is open to the public as part of the standard tour. It is one of the most visited and historically significant spaces on the route. Your guide will explain the historical context and the ongoing debate about its authenticity.
The Cathedral alternates between religious services and tourist visits. During mass, tourist access is temporarily suspended. We recommend checking the mass schedule at the time of your visit. The ticket office staff can help you plan accordingly.
