If you are short on time, choose Colca with transfer to Puno ($99) and add Ica from Lima. The best season for Puno and Arequipa is March to November, and Ica can be visited year-round. The Puno tour reaches 3,827 m above sea level and the Arequipa routes 4,900 m, so allow time to acclimatize; Ica sits at just 79 m.\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n<script

Puno and Arequipa came up in earlier planning but were left out of the official route, and Ica was never on the agenda. According to the schedule published by Peruvian media, the pope will be in Cusco on Sunday, November 15, so that is the only city in the southern Andes where you could overlap with him. Times can change, so check official sources before you book. Turismo Liberty suggests Puno, Arequipa and Ica as an extension of your trip: a lake, a canyon and a desert you can add before or after Cusco.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">How much does it cost to extend my trip to Puno, Arequipa and Ica?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>With Turismo Liberty, the four base tours add up to $599 USD per adult: Colca with transfer to Puno ($99), Puno in 3 days and 2 nights ($145), the Route of the Sun from Puno to Cusco ($90) and Ica in 2 days and 1 night ($265). If you would rather stay in Arequipa, Arequipa Imperdible (4 days, 3 nights) costs $155. Prices are the ones published on turismoliberty.pe on November 6, 2026. They do not include entrance fees (the Colca Valley costs S\/ 70 for foreigners), the lunches and dinners each tour lists, flights or hotels in Cusco and Lima. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm the current rate and availability for your dates before booking.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">How do I get from Puno to Cusco with Turismo Liberty?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Take the Route of the Sun tourist bus for $90 USD per adult. It leaves from the Puno bus terminal, counter C-5: boarding at 5:30 AM and departure at 6:00 AM. Along the way you stop at the Pukara Archaeological Museum (40 minutes), the La Raya viewpoint for photos, a buffet lunch, the Temple of Wiracocha at Raqchi (50 minutes) and the San Pedro Ap\u00f3stol church in Andahuaylillas (35 minutes). The price includes a bilingual guide, entrance fees to Pukara, Raqchi and Andahuaylillas, a snack and water. This tour only runs from Puno toward Cusco; if you need the opposite direction, message us on WhatsApp and we will go over the options.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">How does the Ica tour work if I arrive through Cusco or Lima?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>The 2-day, 1-night Ica tour costs $265 USD per adult and departs from Lima, not from Ica, with pickups between 4:10 and 6:00 AM. On day 1 you tour the Ballestas Islands by speedboat (about 1 hour 45 minutes) and spend one night in Paracas. On day 2 you visit a wine and pisco winery with tasting, the Noelia chocolate shop and the Huacachina Oasis, and you are back in Lima around 10:00 PM. Dune buggies and sandboarding are optional (reference fee $10) and Yaku Park costs $14 extra. Since the pope leaves Lima on November 16, Ica fits well at the end of your trip.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">How many days do I need and when is the best time to go?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>The suggested route in this guide takes about 11 days between Arequipa and Ica, not counting domestic flights: 2 days from Colca to Puno, 3 in Puno, 1 on the bus to Cusco, 2 in Cusco, 1 to return to Lima and 2 for Ica. If you are short on time, choose Colca with transfer to Puno ($99) and add Ica from Lima. The best season for Puno and Arequipa is March to November, and Ica can be visited year-round. The Puno tour reaches 3,827 m above sea level and the Arequipa routes 4,900 m, so allow time to acclimatize; Ica sits at just 79 m.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p style=\"margin-top:1.5rem\">Now you know the best things to do in Peru after the pope&#8217;s visit: adding Puno, Arequipa and Ica turns a short trip into a full route through the south.
