General description
Templo De La Fertilidad, Chucuito Puno – Medio Dia 2D/1N
The Temple of Fertility is located 28 kilometers from the city of Puno. According to historical data, ceramics, stone, metals and some bone artifacts were found in the 1940s; Likewise, it was revealed that the excavation was under construction for the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. Then, thirty years later, Dr. Alberto Bueno Mendoza and his team proceeded to a second excavation, finding remains of canals, foundations of colonial constructions and also about 75 lithic sculptures of different sizes and shapes that he did not specify exactly what they actually were. So we could say that the origin of these sculptures is uncertain; However, other specialists comment that this type of figures did not exist in the place, since there are no records, it is also presumed that the lithic sculptures found in the place were of a ceremonial nature and were intended for rituals of a political and religious nature. As I have indicated, the origin has not been found, but it is said that it was built on the initiative of a local resident in order to attract tourists and over time the place acquired importance and was widely visited, perhaps more by women.

Itinerary
- Pickup and transfer from your hotel to Chucuito, a place visited by dancers and romantic couples. Due to its location, it offers a beautiful view of Lake Titicaca. The first stop in Chucuito is the Temple of Fertility. It is believed that the Uyo Inca was a temple dedicated to fertility, where nature was thanked for the miracle of human reproduction and Pachamama, Mother Earth, was honored. The Inka Uyo is located in the Royal Treasure City, where some people go for various reasons. Next, we will visit the Church of Chucuito, whose side entrance shows the beauty of its construction with columns and arches. Some researchers consider it one of the best examples of colonial Renaissance architecture in the region. We will also see the Solar Clock in the center of the main square, an element of great importance. A detail that distinguishes this town is the Huamanga Stone Clock, rectangular in shape, with a central needle that marks the hours as the sun advances. Finally, we will go to a fish farm. Then we will return to the city of Puno and transfer you to your hotel.
