FROM CUSCO

TO THE LAKE TITICACA


During this full day trip we will cross the Andean High Plateau in search of the city of Puno on the shores of the lake Titicaca.

Along the way we will make several stops to enjoy the places and the famous archeological ruins on this trip.

Around midday we will arrive to the city of Sicuani to take our buffet lunch there in a local restaurant. Our day will finish in the city by the lake and our car will drop you at your hotel.


We leave Cusco at 7:00 am and will cross the whole valley in search of the majestic Inca Gates of Cusco. These enormous gates were built by the Incas and they controlled the access to the capital of the Empire.


After having explored the Cusco Valley we will get to the Green Valley of Vilcanota and from there head towards the Four Lakes of Pomacanchis. These lakes are interconnected and are located at an altitude of 3950 masl. After this we will return to the Vilcanota Valley to continue our trip towards the Lake Titicaca. Before reaching the city of Sicuani we will make a stop to visit the famous archeological complex in Raqchi, also known as the temple of Wiracocha. This enormous, rectangular temple is a 92m long and 25.5 m wide structure consiting of two floors. Before the Spanish destroyed it this temple had what experts think was the biggest roof structure in the Inca Empire

We will take our buffet lunch in a restaurant in Sicuani and after that head towards the Pass of La Raya located at the altitude of 4338 masl. This is the highest point in our trip.

Now the landscape around us has completely changed, and the greenish Valley of Vilcanota has turned into the dry vegetation areas of the Andean High Plateau. In a short while we will arrive to the city of Puno and that is the first time we can enjoy the beautiful view over the Lake Titicaca.
