The Puno to Cusco Route of the Sun tour is a ten-hour overland trip in which every stop has something to show. A bus collects you at your Puno hotel in the early morning and follows the Route of the Sun towards Cusco, with an English and Spanish guide on board.
The first stop is the lithic museum of Pucará, a pre-Inca culture from the Puno area, known for its ceramics and animal sculptures. The road then climbs to La Raya Pass, the border between the two regions, above 4,335 metres, beneath the snow-capped Chimboya, where the Amazon river is said to begin.
Around halfway there is a break and a buffet lunch of national and regional dishes, desserts and hot drinks. After it the group visits Raqchi, the archaeological complex of the god Wiracocha with its storehouses and stone and adobe buildings, and finally the church of Andahuaylillas, the Sistine Chapel of the Andes, for its murals and gold leaf work.
