  • Badly breathe- out of breath
  • If you can go it is one of the higest places in Peru
  • Worth stopping. Friendly people and nice view.
  • A place just to stop and take some pictures.
  • Border between Cusco and Puno, Abra La Raya is a town in the Cordillera de Raya, at an altitude of 4,338 m. Beautiful landscape, with some mountains in the background with snow on the highest peaks. Mandatory stop for the tourist buses of the Rota do Sol. Some artisans exhibit their various products.
