Itinerary of your trip Cusco To La Paz

  • Day 1 Day 1: Bus From Cusco To Puno And Lake Titicaca
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Bus From Cusco To Puno And Lake Titicaca

      From your hotel in Cusco, we collect you for the transfer to the bus station. We depart early in the morning for the 8 to 10 hour bus journey to Puno set on the shores of Lake Titicaca at 12,530โ€™ (3,820m). The journey by first class tourist bus crosses the dramatic Altiplano via altitudes of up to 4300m. During your trip, you will experience quintessential Andean landscapes and breathtaking vistas. The road takes us through the wonderful Andes scenery. First, we stop in Andahuaylillas, a town located 40 kilometres from Cusco with the Church of Andahuaylillas as the main attraction. The church is nicknamed the โ€˜Sistine Chapel of Americaโ€™, due to its impressive art inside. After this, we stop in Checacupe, a beautiful town known for its hanging bridges and rock bridges. We continue the route to Racchi, where the Wiracocha Temple is located, a surprising 30-meters wide by 20-meters high construction of rectangular shape. Enjoy a tasty box lunch in Sicuani, followed by a brief stop in La Raya, the highest point between Puno and Cusco, over 4,313 metres above sea level. In the afternoon we arrive at the town of Pucara, where the Pucara Lithic Museum is located. Developed between the years 100 and 300 AC, this town was the first proper urban settlement of the lacustrine highlands. Finally, arrive in the city of Puno. Our first glimpses of lake Titicaca reminds us that this is hardly a lake - its more like a vast inland sea that also happens to be the highest navigable lake in the world! We spend our night at our hotel in Puno. If you choose to travel by train from Cusco to Puno (upgrade option upon request at an additional cost), we will pick you up at your hotel early in the morning and transfer you to the train station. The once-in-a-lifetime adventure takes approximately 10 hours 30 minutes. The route is considered by many travel magazines to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Overnight: Hotel in Puno.
