After picking you up from your hotel in Puno at the indicated time, we will embark on the excursion to Sillustani, Pucará and Lampa. Are you ready to discover its main natural and historical attractions? Let's go there!

Our first stop will take place at the archaeological site of Sillustani, a place located almost 4000 meters above sea level. Here, we will admire the impressive chullpas of Sillustani, funerary towers from pre-Inca cultures that will leave you totally speechless.

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.

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