Overview
Chucuito is a small, quiet town on the western shore of Lake Titicaca south of Puno, best known for the 16th-century Inca Uyo (Temple of Fertility). The town offers sweeping lake views, a relaxed atmosphere, and access to a scenic viewpoint with a large white cross on the cliff above the village.
