Lampa Day Trip

We'll pick you up at 8 am at your hotel in Puno for a 2-hour drive to Lampa.

Upon arrival, we will visit the Jesuit temple of Santiago Apostle, which features Christian relics including a sculpture of the Virgin of Chiquinquira, a leather crucified Christ, the silver image of the Immaculate Conception, and the Pietà, a replica of Michelangelo's work found in the Vatican.

We will access the atrium of the church, enclosed by 8 towers, and enter the ancient catacombs, exploring the mausoleum and ossuary filled with skulls and bones arranged meticulously.

Following the temple visit, a walk through the streets of Lampa will showcase its colonial architecture, including the Casona Frisancho and the Municipality of Lampa, built from pink ashlar stone. We will also cross the Cal y Canto bridge, notable for its former beauty and construction challenges.

Before returning to Puno, we will stop at a local market for shopping and souvenirs. We aim to return by 3 pm, dropping you off at your hotels in Puno.
