Cutimbo is a tiny settlement some 30 km from Puno, in the Peruvian Altiplano, mostly visited on a short daytrip. Although the ruins at Sillustani are greater in most aspects, they also get loads of visitors. Come to Cutimbo, and you could spend hours, all by yourself.

Get in

Vans depart from Puno as soon as they fill up, usually every 20-30 minutes. Cost S/2.5 (November 2018).
