Description

Begin your adventure by boarding a luxury bus in Puno. Head to the Pucará Museum (entry not included) and travel back in time to the Late Formative Period (500 BC-200 AD). Explore the origins of Andean civilization in Pucará, the first major settlement in the Titicaca basin. Imagine a city that once spanned over a square kilometer, bustling with priests, artisans, farmers, shepherds, bureaucrats, and warriors. Next, arrive at Abra La Raya, the highest point between Puno and Cusco. Stand on the watershed dividing the two regions and be captivated by the panoramic views of the majestic Andes mountains surrounding you. Enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch of traditional Andean cuisine. Choose from beef, chicken, and fish options, complemented by a variety of side dishes, warm and raw salads, delicious desserts, and herbal infusions. Continue to Raqchi (entry not included), a charming archaeological site recognized as one of the 'Best Tourist Villages.' Visit the Inca Temple of Wiracocha, a monumental structure dedicated to the invisible Supreme God of the Andean peoples. Marvel at the impressive 15-meter-high walls and immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of this sacred place. Discover the charming town of Andahuaylillas (entry not included) and its Church of San Pedro Apóstol. This 16th-century Jesuit church may appear humble from the outside, but step inside and witness a dazzling display of gold leaf, intricate murals, and stunning decorations that will leave you speechless. Conclude your journey by arriving in Cusco at the bus terminal located on Av. Alameda Pachacuteq 499-B. Finish with unforgettable memories of a day filled with wonders and discoveries.
