There is a inca temple near Puno that I had to see ... simply by curiousity
So I took a collectivo (local little bus with place for 10-12 persons and very cheap 1 sol = 0,25 Euro) and went to the near village of Chucuito ... with it's church ...
It's view on lace Titikaka ...
... and its Templo de fertilitat ... see for yourself ...
very small but if you see the stonework, you know that it's a Inca-temple
... and the subject is ...
... let's enter and see the main issue ...
and that is not the only one ...
around a hundred ... some decaptitated (poor them) ... other's still used by the locals ... woman who are not having baby's come and sit upon them ...
Wet afterwards to a little museum (only one room)
and back to Puno ...
In the afternoon went to a special place ... Pre-inca and Inca tombs on a peninsula in Lace Mayor around 45km near Puno.
There are around 50 tombs here but not all are in a good state ... in one tower they put 4 different mummies ...
The tallest one is over 12m high
you start to recognise the stonework of the inca's ...
... there is wildlife over here ... try to find the cuy ...
The cuy is a delicatesse over here ... you can find almost everywhere on the menu ... I haven't eaten it yet ...
...some tombs are square ...
... and this one is pre-inca ... see the different stonework ...
... in front some alpaca's ...
... and the view on the lace are breathtaking ...
the island in the middle is a natural-reserve on which about 300 vicuñas are living ...
back to Puno ...
