Things to Do in Sicuani

Main square with manicured gardens, a central fountain, and benches under mature eucalyptus trees. Busy with families and vendors in the evening.

🕐 Always open

💡 Sunday 10:00-13:00 has a free community folk music performance on the bandstand — grab a seat early.

A steep climb up stone steps to a cross-topped hill with panoramic views of the Vilcanote Valley and the town's red-tiled roofs below.

🕐 Always open

💡 Go at 16:00 when the afternoon light hits the mountains — the wind picks up so take a jacket.

Natural hot springs (30-35°C) at the La Raya pass, about 15 km north. Simple concrete pools with high mineral content, popular for bathing.

🕐 Daily 06:00-18:00

💡 Bus from Sicuani to Puno costs 3 soles — ask the driver to drop you at the springs entrance. Entry is 5 soles, and it's always quiet on weekday mornings.

Small museum displaying pre-Inca Kanamarca pottery, textiles, and tools from local excavations. Basic but well-labelled in Spanish.

🕐 Tue-Sun 08:00-16:00

💡 Ask the guard at the door to unlock the back room — it has the best preserved mummies and weavings.

Unrestored Inca and Kanamarca stone terraces and wall foundations on a hillside just east of town. Few tourists, plenty of lizards and fresh air.

🕐 Always open

💡 Take the path behind the football stadium (estadio municipal) — it's 10 minutes up and you'll have the entire site to yourself. No shade, so bring water.
