What you'll see and do
Iglesia Apostol Santiago
The first stop is Lampa, known as the "Pink City" for its distinctive pink stone streets and colonial walls. The main attraction here is the Santiago Apostol Church—step inside and you'll find a Renaissance-style interior built entirely of stone. Among its treasures is a replica of Michelangelo's Pieta carved from Carrara marble, one of the few in the world. Below the church, the catacombs hold centuries-old bone arrangements that add an unexpectedly eerie layer to an otherwise artistic and historical visit.

Pukara Archaeological Site
From Lampa, the route continues to the Pukara Lithic Museum, where one of the oldest Andean civilizations comes into focus. Inside this modern building, stone monoliths and carved zoomorphic sculptures line the halls alongside intricate ceramics—including the famous "Pukara Toritos," a symbol of prosperity still crafted by local artisans today. The collection traces the rituals and daily life of a people who thrived here long before the Incas, and the detail in the carvings makes for some excellent photos

Ayaviri
You’ll make a delicious pit stop in the town of Ayaviri, a place known for its rich culinary traditions. Here, you’ll sit down at a local restaurant to try Kankacho, the regional specialty. This dish features roast lamb, slow-cooked to perfection with tender meat and crispy skin. It’s typically served with sides of chuño (freeze-dried potatoes), and boiled potatoes. It’s a hearty, authentic meal that gives you a real taste of the Altiplano. You’ll spend about 1 hour enjoying the food and the lively local atmosphere.
40 minutes here
Tinajani
The final stop is the stunning Tinajani Canyon. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet as you walk among towering red rock formations carved by wind and time. These sandstone structures create narrow, maze-like corridors and towering pillars that resemble a stone forest. It’s a peaceful spot to hike, climb the rocks for a vantage point, and simply enjoy the silence of the high Andes. The colors shift beautifully with the sunlight, making it a photographer’s dream. You’ll have about 1 hour to explore the trails and marvel at this surreal landscape.

Ask for Richard to take you to Tinajani Canyon
Did two private tours (Tinajani Canyon and Cutimbo) with driver/guide Richard. He is extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. His way of driving is totally safe, and you can talk to him about many topics. His English is excellent. Tinajani is my favorite place in Peru besides MP, and Cutimbo is a hidden gem. Two more tours with Inca Lake were also well organized and very interesting.

Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno cost?
+
Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to Tinajani, Lampa and Pukara from Puno start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puno?
+
On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puno?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puno?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
