Itinerary

Day 1

TOUR CHUCUITO TEMPLE OF THE FERTILITY RELOG SOLAR PISCIGRANJA

Start: 08:00 a.m.
Leaving Puno (after picking you up at your hotel) we will head south to the city of Chucuito (30 min. approx.).
Upon arrival we will visit the beautiful rural churches from the 17th and 18th centuries, built by Jesuit and Dominican priests.
We will also walk through the narrow streets of colonial design where stone is the preferred construction material.
After that, we will visit the Inca temple of Inca Uyo, a clear example of the Inca conception of life and fertility.
The traditional village of Chucuito is the former capital of the Lupaqa state, when the Aymara people were prosperous and politically independent, with their different sovereign states. Possibly, until the emergence of Potosí, Chucuito would have been the most important city south of Cusco.
With the Spanish conquest came the discovery and exploitation of the silver mines of Layqa Quta, in the 17th century, which, located in the current city of San Carlos de Puno, began the decadent process of the great Chucuito. Added to this, during the present republican period, the great province of Chucuito was divided into four provinces: Puno, El Collao, Yunguyo and Chucuito. Thus, the old capital Lupaqa has not only lost its old vassal territories but, due to its proximity to Puno capital, it does not even belong to the province of Chucuito.
This traditional town, housed in the Colony the "Royal Boxes", being there where the currency was minted and the Quintos del Rey were gathered to be transferred to Lima. There we can enjoy the landscape and nature, we find the Inca remains of the Inca Uyo Phallic Temple, which, according to archaeologists, was a fertility shrine.
