en setiembre vamos de argentina(Rio Negro)hasta machu pichu, y queremos saber si conviene ir de moquegua a PUno por el cami no que relatan o ir a Arequipa, o tal vez ir por Puno y dejar Arequipa para la vuelta.
desde ya muchas gracias.
por los dos lados es igual , hacen casi las mismas horas , la carrtera es bastante altura si no estas acostumbrado soroche o mal de altura , de moquegua a puno son 4 horas , de arequipa mpuno son 4 horas
ahora cambiamos el recorrido y vamos a arequipa, de ali a cusco y a la vuelta vamos a puno, desde alli quiseramos ir a desaguadero, de alli a mazo cruz y la duda es si desde mazo cruz se puede ir por ruta asfaltada directo a a Tacna(ruta 36) o conviene ir por Moquegua
muchas gracias.
