Visit the Pucllana Pyramid, built in the IV century a.D., walk through the Plaza Mayor and its caractheristic architecture an and discover the Franciscan Monastery and its catacombs.

The tour starts with a panoramic glimpse of the Pucllana Pyramid, constructed in the 4th century A.D. and regarded as a sacred village by the Incas.
