Full-Day Cusco to Puno Tour - The Stunning Sun Tour Route (533602)

You will be picked up from your hotel and drop off you to the Bus station.
This is a great bus trip, this is more like a tour - it stops at four interesting sites along the way where you have a guided tour aboard.

• Andahuaylillas: Sistine Chapel of South America: this church is one of the most beautiful examples of Andean popular religious art. (It leaves at 7.30am and arrives at about 5 pm.)
• Raqchi (Wiracocha God Temple): This was an Inca church of monumental dimensions; 100 meters long, 26 meters wide and 14 meters high. The temple is divided in two naves and each nave shows 11 giant columns - huge!.
• La Raya: This is the half-way point between Cusco and Puno and also the highest point (4335 meters above sea level). The landscapes here are stunning and typical Andean animals like the llama, alpaca and vicuña are common. It is also the geographic border between the two cultures - Quechua and Aymara.
• Pukara: This is the most important and oldest ceremonial center of the altiplano. There are interesting life-sculptures and tombs.
