Our adventure along the Route of the Sun from Puno to Cusco begins with a pick-up from your hotel in the city of Puno.

We then head to La Raya, the highest point of the journey, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and herds of llamas and alpacas.

Next, we continue to Sicuani, where you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch featuring traditional local flavors, before heading to Raqchi, home to the impressive Temple of Wiracocha, one of the Inca Empire’s most sacred sites.

Our final stop is Andahuaylillas, where the Church of San Pedro, known as the Sistine Chapel of America, captivates visitors with its golden altars and baroque artwork.
