A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
As you travelfrom Cusco to Puno, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for several notable landmarks. First, you’ll pass through the charming town of Andahuaylillas, often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of the Andes” due to its beautifully adorned church. Next, you’ll encounter the Temple of Wiracocha at Raqchi, an impressive archaeological site dedicated to the Inca god Wiracocha. As you ascend to higher altitudes, you’ll reach the La Raya Pass, the highest point on the route, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This drive not only connects two significant Peruvian cities but also provides a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty along the way.
