点评:The Parque Arqueológico de Raqchi was a particularly interesting and unique stop for me. From the very first moment, it’s clear that this isn’t a “classic” archaeological site—it’s much more open, spacious, and on a different scale compared to many others. The massive wall remains and the foundations of the former temple leave a strong impression, and it’s easy to imagine how important this place must have been during Inca times.
I really enjoyed that you can properly walk around and explore the area. It’s not crowded or rushed, so there’s time to stop, look around, take photos, and listen to the guide’s explanations, which add a lot to the experience. This way, you’re not just looking at stones—you actually understand what was there and how the site once functioned.
It’s important to note, however, that Raqchi is really only worth visiting if you’re traveling between Puno and Cusco. On its own, as a separate trip, it probably wouldn’t justify the extra time and effort. As a stop along the way, though, it’s perfect: not tiring, informative, and a great way to break up the journey.
Overall, Raqchi was a very positive experience for me—a place that may be less well-known, but definitely rewarding, especially if it’s already on your route.

我非常喜欢可以悠闲地漫步探索这片区域。这里并不拥挤,也不匆忙,所以你有时间停下来,四处看看,拍拍照,聆听导游的讲解,这些都极大地丰富了你的参观体验。这样一来,你看到的就不仅仅是石头——你真正了解了这里曾经是什么,以及这个遗址曾经是如何运作的。
不过需要注意的是,拉奇考古公园只有在你往返于普诺和库斯科之间时才值得一游。如果单独安排一次行程,可能就不值得花费额外的时间和精力了。作为旅途中的一站,拉奇堪称完美:既不累人,又能增长见识,还能很好地缓解旅途疲劳。
总的来说,拉奇给我留下了非常积极的印象——这个地方或许名气不大,但绝对值得一游,尤其如果你正好路过这里的话。
