Description

History and nature merge in this excursion to Lampa, Pucará and Tinajani. We will see the colonial architecture of the pink city and pre-Inca archaeological sites.
After picking you up from your hotel in Puno at the indicated time, we will begin the excursion to Pucará and Lampa. Are you ready to discover its main natural and historical attractions? Let's go there!

We will return to the vehicle and head to Lampa, known as the city of seven wonders. Why would it be? We will spend an hour and a half taking a guided tour of the historic center of Lampa, which stands out for the color of its houses. We will walk through narrow streets to the church of Santiago Apóstol, the main temple of the town. We will visit the interior of this colonial-era parish and we will go back to the 17th century to learn about its history.

Afterwards, we will head to our last destination, Pucará. We will get to know one of the main pre-Inca civilizations by visiting the lithic museum, where we will see rock sculptures and ceramics belonging to the ancient Pucará culture. We will visit the archaeological site of Pucará, whose origins date back to 200 BC. In this site, made up of a residential area and a ceremonial area, we will see very ancient ruins and remains of step pyramids dedicated to different deities.

Next, we will leave you free time to have lunch on your own. With a full stomach, we will take the route to the Tinajani canyon to take a walk in the area. You will be surprised by its landscape made up of impressive and gigantic rocks!

We will end the excursion ten hours later, dropping you off at your hotel in Puno.
