Descripción
Discover the best of the Peruvian Andes with our tour from Puno to Cusco. Explore breathtaking landscapes, unique archaeological sites and the living culture of two of the most emblematic cities.
DAY 1: PUNO - CUSIPATA
The journey from Puno to Cusipata is a unique experience through the Andean highlands, combining pre-Inca history, Inca architecture and breathtaking scenery. We leave early from the shores of Lake Titicaca, following the Ruta del Sol. The first stop is Pucará, where you can visit the Lithic Museum, which houses a collection of sculptures and ritual objects from the Pucará culture, a civilization that flourished between 100 BC and 300 AD.
We continue to La Raya Pass, the highest point of the trek, at 4,335 meters, with spectacular views of the Andean snow-capped mountains. After a stop in Sicuani for lunch, we arrive at Raqchi, at 3,450 meters, where the Temple of Wiracocha is located, an imposing Inca construction surrounded by ceremonial enclosures and food deposits.
Then, we head to the Q'eswachaka bridge, the last Inca bridge in use, renewed every year by the local communities. Walking over this bridge is an experience that connects with the traditions of the Inca Empire.
Finally, we arrive at Cusipata, at 3,310 meters, the starting point to the Seven Colors Mountain. We spend the night in a rural lodge, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
DAY 2: CUSIPATA - SEVEN COLORS MOUNTAIN - CUSCO
The second day starts early, traveling to the base of the Seven Colors Mountain (Vinicunca). After an hour and a half by vehicle, we arrive at Phulawasipata, where the 7 km (round trip) hike begins through high Andean puna landscapes. During the hike, we can see herds of alpacas and local shepherds.
The hike lasts between one and a half and two hours, with altitudes of up to 5,000 meters. Upon reaching the summit, the view of the red, yellow, turquoise and violet stripes is an impressive spectacle, the result of the accumulation of minerals such as iron, sulfur, copper and calcium carbonate.
After enjoying the main viewpoint, we return to Phulawasipata, where the vehicle awaits us to return to Cusipata for breakfast and then continue to Cusco. On the way, we cross rural landscapes and traditional villages, until we reach the historic capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco, with its mix of Andean and Spanish cultures.
