Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: San Pedro Apostol de Andahuaylillas, Calle Tacna No 302, Andahuaylillas 08210 Peru

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco, early in the morning.
This trip will take you through what was in the past known as "La ruta del Sol". When leaving the city of Cusco, the first stop will be in Andahuaylillas, a small and cozy town; but what makes it great is its church of the virreinal era, inside which is an artistic jewel. Paintings on the walls and ceilings of the church give life, admiration, and are enriched with golden altarpieces to the gold leaf. Without a doubt, the San Pedro Apostle Church of Andahuaylillas will impress you.


Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Parque Arqueologico De Raqchi, San Pedro Peru

Later, on a longer trip you will go to Raqchi, a community in whose heart still preserves Inca walls of what was the temple to the god of the gods of the Incas: Wiraqocha. Its streets and terraces are extraordinary. Very close to this place, you will have lunch, in the middle of the typical nature of the area.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: La Raya Pass, Peru

Continuing with this adventure, you will reach the border between Cusco and Puno, and having a stop you will appreciate a snowy mountain. You will notice that from this point the vegetation of crops will be stop and will give way to the wild vegetation.

Stop At: Museo Litico Pukara, Plza de Armas, Pucara Peru

Later, looking towns and communities during the way, you will arrive Pukará. This place awaits a lithic museum; but that is not the only fame of this town; in fact the true fame are the ceramic sculptures of some "bulls" known as "Toritos de Pukará". We are sure that in the city of Cusco you were able to appreciate many of these sculptures, and its place of origin is precisely this town.
At the end of the day, finally you will arrive in the city of Puno, a city located on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
Note: This tour can start from the city of Puno and end in the city of Cusco. Visiting the attractions in the reverse order.
