Itinerary
Take a guided tour inside the church, see the colonial decoration with leaves of gold and murals of the seventeenth century, and don't miss the famous murals, The Way to Heaven and the Way to Hell.
Enjoy a guided visit to Raqchi, an Inca construction built during the 15th century that was used as a temple for Inca rituals and also a place to home soldiers and pilgrims during their festivities.
The political border between Cusco and Puno is also a natural geographical border between the Andean valleys and the big South American plateau, and it is also the highest point on the route. It is very interesting to notice that you will see two very different ecological floors on the trip.
An interesting guided visit where you will find carving stones of the "Pucara Civilization, 500 B.C." representing different animals from Lake Titicaca and the first iconographies of the Andean civilization. Don´t miss the carved stone called "The Beheader.".

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
