Cusco to Puno by bus - Beautiful churches and the magnificent Altiplano

Our next goal was to reach Lake Titicaca, more exactly the town of Puno from Cusco. We took a "deluxe" bus to do this trip. The bus stopped at 4 different locations along the way, and we had a chance to spend some time in each of these places.




1) Church of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas























2) Checapupe and its pre-Inca leather suspension bridge




3) Church of ?












4) Raqchi - Inca archeological site

The central adobe wall of the temple of Wiracocha








Back in the bus....

5) The Altiplano







6) La Raya - at high altitude




Altitude is not discouraging vendors!





7) Pucara: a museum with pre-inca stone carvings and ceramics and a church













8) Juliaca - Example of a "not very nice" city - Just passing by on our way to Puno













9) Puno
