Day 1: Arrival in Puno

  • Upon arrival, you will be collected from the Puno airport and taken on a private transfer to your luxury Puno hotel where you will be able to rest.
  • Located next to Lake Titicaca, Puno gives visitors the feeling of being on top of the world. You will have the remainder of the day to spend at your leisure, getting acclimatized to the high altitude, or exploring the city on your own.

See our Puno Guide for more information about the city, including recommendations of great Puno restaurants.


Day 2: Lake Titicaca Tour & Visit to Floating Island (Uros and Taquile)

  • After breakfast you will head out on a full day private tour of Lake Titicaca. This incredible mass of deep blue and green water is the highest navigable lake in the world and situated at 3,890 meters (12, 379 ft) above sea level. The lake is host to an abundance of wildlife such as flamingos, ducks and many rare species of fish.
  • During your tour you will visit some of the Islands of Uros. There are an estimated 32 populated islands– some friendly to tourists while others are more isolated. Constructed from many layers of totora reeds, an ancient process still practiced by the local communities, the islands float around Lake Titicaca and are truly a wonder to view. On some of the islands you will be given the chance to purchase some traditional local handicrafts as a way to support the local communities.
  • You will continue on toward the Island of Taquile, located about 45km from Puno and full of numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins. The local islanders still maintain many ancient traditions with their clothing and beautiful handicrafts. Interestingly, on this island it is the men and not the women that have historically woven material. You will be guided around the island to all of the most important sites, such as a museum of traditional costumes, and the ruins at the highest point of the island where you might admire an incredible sunset over Lake Titicaca.
  • After the tour, clients with a deluxe package will return to their lovely hotel in Puno, while those on a luxury package will continue on by boat to stay the night in Casa Andina Private Collection Isla Suasi. Considered one of the finest hotels in the country, this luxury hotel is located on a private island in Lake Titicaca and boasts world class views and terraced gardens.

Day 3: Departure from Puno

  • After breakfast at your hotel in Puno or on Isla Suasi, you will be transferred to Cusco and taken to your luxury hotel. Relax in your lovely room before enjoying the Cusco nightlife at your leisure.

Sillustani Tour :

On the outskirts of Puno you will find mysterious pre-Inca ruins called Chullpas (funeral towers). They sit on the windswept altiplano on a peninsula in Lake Umayo at Sillustani. The Colla people, a warrior tribe that spoke Aymara, buried their elite in giant cylindrical tombs, some as tall as 12 meters high (40 ft.). The stonemasonry is exquisite, many archaeologists and historians find them more complex and superior even to Inca engineering, and the structures form quite an impression on such a harsh landscape.

As part of a group tour, roundtrip Puno-Sillustani-Puno*:

Price Per Person $ 199
€ 145
£ 124

*Since the Sillustani group tour is an afternoon tour, it may be necessary to book an extra night in Puno. This depends on each individualized itinerary.


Overnight on Lake Titicaca:

Enjoy an overnight stay with an Andean family on the Amantani Island of Lake Titicaca.

Day 1: Your day will begin with an early morning pickup at 8am from your hotel and transfer to the pier where you will board your boat. After a 40 minute boat ride you will reach the man-made reed Islands of Uros. Here you will learn how the ancient Aymara people constructed these islands to escape persecution from Inca soldiers. After learning about their culture and everyday life style, you will board your boat once more and sail towards Amatani Island. Your host family will greet you upon arrival, and take you to your new home for lunch and a short rest. In the late afternoon you will enjoy a tour of the ruins located on the top of the island. From this point you will be able see both Peru’s and Bolivia’s shores of Lake Titicaca. From there you will return to your home for dinner and a short rest before attending the optional party of music and dancing with Amatani residents.

Day 2: Enjoy an early breakfast before you are back on the boat for a two hour trip to Taquile Island. Here you will hike towards the main town for a delicious lunch. Then you will continue on a challenging* hike to the other side of the island where your boat to Puno awaits.

It is important for travelers to remember that while the Amantani Island homestay is a beautiful and worthwhile experience, they should be prepared for the most basic accommodations and meals. The houses of the Amantani people are humble, but also warm, clean and friendly. In some cases, bathrooms are outhouses.

*This part of the tour features many up and downhill stairs. Though not extremely strenuous, the region’s high-altitude may make the journey difficult for some. Therefore this tour might not be appropriate for travelers with walking difficulties and/or senior citizens.
