Itinerary:
Day 1: Cusco – Sistine Chapel – Raqchi – Pucara – Puno
We will pick you up at your hotel at 6:00am to take you to the Tourist bus station. Our buses provide excellent service with an English-speaking tour guide, and a waiter who is ready to assist you with hot and cold drinks on board.
During the trip, you will stop to visit some Inca ruins, museums and the Andahuaylillas Church, which is considered to be the Sistine Chapel of South America because of its amazing frescos.
Then, we stop at the Racchi Inca ruins, which used to be a religious and resting place for Inca travelers. The next visit is at La Raya, the border between the regions of Cusco and Puno, where the most traditional animals of Peru can be seen, llamas and alpacas.
In Pucara, we will visit a museum where it is possible to see some pre-Inca remains. Finally, by 5:30 pm we arrive in Puno, where our representative will pick you up to take you to your hotel.
