Explore the famous 'Route of the Sun' from Puno to Cusco by visiting amazing places in the south of Peru such as Andahuaylillas, Raqchi, and Pukara - unforgettable!
It's said that at least once in your life you have to do the famous Ruta del Sol through the south of Peru. Everyone who makes this journey ends up being captivated by the history, landscapes, and cuisine of the Andes. To see for yourself whether this is true or not, we'll meet you at the designated time at the meeting point in Puno. From here, we'll head to the town of Pukara.
What is the legacy of the ancient Andean people? We'll begin exploring this fascinating culture by visiting the Pukara interpretation center. This place is home to the famous Pukara bulls, clay figures painted in different colors that are a symbol of protection, prosperity, and fertility in southern Peru.
From Pukara, we'll continue towards La Raya Pass, where we'll make a brief stop to take pictures of this breathtaking mountain pass located more than 14107 ft (4300 m) above sea level.
Once we have taken the necessary photos in La Raya, we'll go to a local restaurant to recharge our batteries with a delicious buffet lunch. After lunch, we'll go to the famous archaeological site of Raqchi. Here, we'll see the remains of the ancient temple of the God Wiracocha, a deity whose veneration in pre-Hispanic times is shrouded in legends and mysteries.
After the guided tour through the archaeological park of Raqchi, we'll go to the village of Andahuaylillas, where we'll visit the Church of San Pedro Apóstol: the "Sistine Chapel of America". Does this statement seem exaggerated to you? Wait until you see the interior of this majestic temple!
After 10 to 11 hours, we'll finish the Ruta del Sol, dropping you off at the meeting point.
When booking, you can choose an option that includes a workshop where you’ll paint your own torito in Pukara. This immersive experience, led by local artisans, invites you to paint one of the most iconic symbols of Andean cultural tradition. You’ll take home the best possible souvenir from the Route of the Sun!
If you book any of the options with hotel pickup, we'll pick you up at your accommodation in Puno so that you don't have to worry about getting to the meeting point.
Also, after the activity, we'll drop you off at the hotel of your choice in Cusco. This option also includes day trip tickets and lunch. What else could you ask for?

You can book up to 1 day in advance if there are any seats left. Book now and guarantee your spot.
