About This Package

Sun Route Tour from Cusco to Puno

The Sun Route Tour from Cusco to Puno turns a transfer between two Andean cities into a full day of history, archaeology and highland scenery. Instead of traveling directly, make guided stops at Andahuaylillas, known for the artistic richness of its church; Raqchi, home to the remarkable Temple of Wiracocha; and Pukará, a town connected to one of the highlands' earliest cultures. Between visits, watch the landscape change from the valleys around Cusco to the broad plateaus on the way to Puno. Tourist transportation, a guide, listed admission tickets and lunch are included, making this a practical choice for travelers who want to use their transfer day to understand the cultural diversity of southern Peru. The route ends in Puno and does not return to Cusco.
