Departing from Cusco

Andahuaylillas Sistine Chapel of America

The Church of San Pedro known worldwide as the Sistine Chapel of America is located in the town of Andahuaylillas. The small town is located 36 kilometers southeast of the city of Cusco. While the exterior of the church looks rather humble, it is the interior that makes it one of the most valuable jewels of colonial art in Peru.

Raqchi Aarchaeological Complex

Between snow-capped peaks and original villages, in the Andean highlands between Cusco and Puno, lies the beautiful pre-Inca site of Raqchi. Immediately striking are the slender but very vague columns of Raqchi, some of which rise up to a height of 12 meters into the sky. Undoubtedly, the heart of the settlement, once rectangular and situated high above sea level, is the extraordinary temple of Raqchi. Composed of volcanic rock and clay, the temple dedicated to the Inca god Viracocha is unique in Latin America.

Buffet lunch in the city of Sicuani

The buffet lunch offers a wide variety of dishes and includes vegan and vegetarian food. It is accompanied by live Andean music to the delight of the passengers. All of this is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery of rivers and mountains. After the buffet, passengers can interact and have their photos taken with the camelids raised in the open fields.

* Cold drinks, such as soft drinks or beer, are not included.

La Raya Pass (The highest point of the Route)

The Raya Pass is at an altitude of 4,325 m (14,222 ft). At this point, the mountain ranges of central and southern Peru meet to form the Vilcanota 'node', whose snow-capped peaks are often shrouded in cloud. Beyond the pass stretches the naked vastness of the Peruvian altiplano to the shores of Lake Titicaca. An unforgettable experience.

Lithic Museum of Pukara

The museum has a collection of monoliths and lithic sculptures from the Pucara Culture. They are classified in three groups: monoliths, stelae and zoomorphic sculptures. Among the pieces on display are the 2 metre high Stela of the Rain or Stela of the Lightning, the stone monolith of the Cutthroat or Hatun Ñakaj and the Devourer.
