At the indicated time we will pick you up at the indicated place in Puno. There we will begin the excursion to Chucuito, Aramu Muru and Juli, three towns full of charm and ancestral history.

Our first stop will take place in Chucuito, a town located on a hill overlooking Lake Titicaca, characterized by its great archaeological wealth. There we will visit its most representative places, where the Temple of Fertility stands out.

We will continue the excursion to the Chullpas de Molloco to observe these unique constructions from the pre-Columbian era. What was its function? Why do they have a rounded shape? We'll find out!

Next, we will make a stop at some Andean waru waru. These floodable furrows aim to create a microclimate that mitigates the effect of frost, thus developing crops. Did you know it?

Afterwards, we will go to Aramu Muru, also called Gate of the Gods. According to an ancient legend, this mysterious place will one day allow the arrival of various deities to Earth. We will learn about this and many other mysteries that this stone portal hides.

Later we will travel to the city of Juli, known as the Rome of Latin America. Do you want to discover why? You will know it as soon as we start walking through its temples, such as San Pedro, San Juan de Letrán or Santo Domingo. In addition, in them you can admire great pictorial works by Cusco artists.

Before returning, we will make a stop at a local restaurant so you can eat on your own. After lunch, we will finally take you to Puno, where we will arrive nine hours later.
