Highlights 

 
  • The Pucara archaeological site covers an area of 4.2 square kilometers. It is 1 km. from the Museum by foot. The complex is formed by several pyramidal buildings, the most important one known as Kalasaya. Due to the sculptures observed around it representing their apparent deities, it is believed that this building was used for religious ceremonies.
  • The complex exhibits a prominent demarcation between the ceremonial area and the urban one. The ceremonial areas can be identified by the existence of pyramids.
  • Due to the high altitude, temperatures are usually low; therefore, appropriate attire should be brought for the walk around the site. Also, travelers should bring comfortable shoes (tennis shoes or hiking boots) as well as a hat and sunscreen .
  • The Pucara and Tiahuanaco civilizations are the most important ones to settle in the region of Puno before the Incas settled in this area.
