South Valley

South of Cusco

Huarcapay lake seen from Pikillaqta

Driving south past the airport, the road leads towards Lake Titica and Puno. The area is accessible with city colectivos as far as Lucre, near Huacarpay. If you want to go as far as Pikillaqta, you need to get a bus that’s going to Sicuani and get out at the site you want to visit.

Long distance tourist busses to Puno stop at many of the sites in the South Valley. If you take a bus for locals to Puno, it will not stop along the way. If you’re going south and don’t have a car and private guide, it’s worth getting the tourist bus.
