TOUR to PUCARA PUKARA Full Day
We pick you up at 8:00 a.m. then we go to Sillustani Archaeological Complex, once here we begin a walk of approximately 30 min to get to the place and be able to observe the different funerary towers, (chullpas) that seem to have taken the high-Andean plateau by storm. They are almost 90 and are scattered in an area of ??150 hectares. Many of them exceed 12 meters high and have a larger diameter at the top than at the base. A challenge to the laws of gravity and balance. A detail that makes them unique in the continent. After visiting this magical place, we Continue the tour to the colonial town of LAMPA Located 73 km from the city of Puno, also called the pink city, famous for its temple “Santiago Apostle” has an exact replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta. In this town we also find the only and most beautiful colonial bridge of Calicanto. It is impossible not to fall in love with Lampa at first sight, that is inevitable when encountering a town where silence fills almost everything and the rhythm of life progresses without haste. Strolling through its lonely streets gives it the feeling that it has taken a leap in time and has entered a world painted in black and white. It seems that one is walking there at the beginning of the 20th century when the people of Lampa rejected the arrival of the railroad and this decision plunged them into a kind of ostracism but also saved them from destructive modernity. After appreciating the beauty of its streets and church, we resume the journey with direction to our main destination PUCARA place where we can enjoy a delicious lunch, PUCARA is famous for its lithic museum, pyramidal constructions which formed the city of this culture and for its pottery being the TORITO DE PUCARA its most representative figure. The inhabitants of Pucará are recognized artisans (potters) who currently export their handicrafts abroad not only for the meaning of pucara bulls but also for the quality of the work. It is common to see in almost all the roofs of the highlands house a couple of these Toritos that symbolizes the protection and prosperity of the family.
PUCARA: Located 61 km from the city of Juliaca on the road that takes us to the city of Cusco, this pre-Colombian culture dates from 500 BC to 400 D.C. Also known as the MADRE DEL ALTIPLANO CULTURE, this culture gave rise to later cultures such as Tiahuanaco (now Bolivia) and Inca (Cusco). Having the puma as a totemic animal and the DECAPITADOR sculpture as characteristics of this culture. After enjoying all this experience we will be returning to the hotel approximately between 5:30 pm or 6:00 pm
