History and nature merge in this tour to Sillustani, Pucara and Lampa. We'll enjoy the architecture of the pink city, we'll see pre-Inca archaeological.
After picking you up at your hotel in Puno at the scheduled time, we'll begin our tour to Sillustani, Pucará and Lampa. Are you ready to get to discover the highlights of these spots?
Our first stop will be at the archaeological site of Sillustani, a place located almost 4000 metres above sea level. Here, we'll admire the impressive chullpas of Sillustani, burial towers of pre-Inca cultures that'll leave you speechless.
We'll next head to Lampa, known as the city of the seven wonders. Why is that? We'll spend an hour and a half on a guided tour of the historic center of Lampa, which stands out for the color of its houses. We'll walk through narrow streets to the church of Santiago Apostle, the main temple of the town. We'll visit the interior of this colonial-era parish church and travel back to the 17th century to learn about its history.
Afterwards, we'll return to our vehicle and head to our final destination, Pucará. We'll learn about one of the main pre-Inca civilizations by visiting the lithic museum, where we'll see cave sculptures and ceramics belonging to the ancient Pucara culture.
