Andahuaylillas
Visit the 17th-century Church of San Pedro, famous for its breathtaking murals, gilded altars, and baroque artwork created by the Cusco School. Your guide explains how Andean and Catholic traditions blended during the colonial era. Travelers explore the richly painted interiors, admire the ornate ceiling and frescoes, and gain insight into the cultural transformation of the Andes through religious art.
Parque Arqueologico De Raqchi
Explore the monumental Inca sanctuary dedicated to the creator god Wiracocha. Walking through the site, you’ll see the remains of the Great Temple’s towering central wall, storehouses used for food distribution, ceremonial plazas, and ancient aqueducts. Your guide explains the site’s religious role and strategic importance in the Inca Empire, offering a vivid picture of Inca engineering and spirituality.
Sicuani
Enjoy a relaxing buffet lunch featuring regional Andean cuisine, including soups, vegetables, quinoa dishes, and grilled meats. The spacious restaurant offers a comfortable atmosphere to rest and refuel before continuing the journey. It’s an ideal moment to enjoy local flavors while admiring the landscape around Sicuani.
La Raya Pass
At 4,335 meters, La Raya is the highest point of the route and one of its most scenic. Travelers step out to take in sweeping views of snow-capped mountains, high-altitude plains, and grazing alpacas. The guide describes the natural geography and the cultural significance of this Andean divide. A brief but unforgettable moment in the heart of the mountains.
Pucara
Discover the ancient Pucará culture through carved monoliths, ceremonial sculptures, and pottery inside this small but important museum. Learn about the origins of the famous “Toritos de Pucará,” symbols of protection and prosperity. This visit provides essential context about the civilizations that flourished in the Altiplano long before the Inca.
Puno
Arrive in Puno in the late afternoon and check in to a comfortable three-star hotel. This overnight stay allows travelers to rest and adjust before exploring Lake Titicaca. Guests can enjoy a free evening to walk around the lakeside city, visit local restaurants, or relax at the hotel. The overnight break ensures a slower, more enjoyable pace for the next day’s island visits, avoiding the rushed feeling common on one-day tours.
Uros Floating Islands
A unique civilization living atop handmade totora reed islands on Lake Titicaca, preserving traditional customs and ancestral techniques. What travelers will do: Meet local families, learn how the islands are built, explore the floating platforms, and optionally take a traditional reed boat ride (extra cost).
Taquile Island
A peaceful island known for its award-winning textile art, communal lifestyle, and spectacular lake views. What travelers will do: Take a scenic uphill walk, visit community gathering points, enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch, and learn about the island’s weaving traditions.
Upon returning to the Puno boat pier in the late afternoon (around 4:30–5:00 PM), travelers are assisted with a direct transfer to the Puno bus terminal or to their hotel, depending on their onward travel plans. This ensures a seamless conclusion to the experience.

5.00This was a very well organized trip. On the first day I had the bus tour from Cusco to Puno with stops at prominent sites along the way. On arrival, they met me at the bus terminal and accomodated me in a hotel within the centre of the city. On the second day I had a tour of Lake Titicaca where i visited two islands and got a very indepth insight into the history and traditions. The tour company did everything to make this a memorable trip. Staff were very accomodating and were genuinely passionate to share their traditions. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get an immersive experience before visiting Lake Titicaca.
Flawless organization and thanks to our guides, Hannah and Ruben

5.00It is an incredibly beautiful place, it seems to be at sea but still very high. If there's one place you have on your bucket list make sure you get to check off lake Titicaca , everyone needs to add Lake Titicaca to there bucket list. Words cannot fully capture the magic of Titicaca. This enormous lake, sitting high in the Andes between Peru and Bolivia, offers some of the most spectacular natural views I've ever experienced. truly a mystical lake. The guide was very kind and shared many useful information about the life of people on these islands.

5.00We had a great time on our Lake Titicaca tour. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. The staff were wonderful, and the people were very friendly and kind. They showed us how the floating islands are made. We stayed for one night, and it was one of the best parts of our trip to Peru. I recommend visiting the islands and staying at least one night. We learned a lot about the history and the people who live there. It's definitely worth seeing.

5.00Excellent company for organizing tours around the lake. Perfect organisation for our transfer from Cusco. Ricardo is a competent, friendly and very engaging guide. Wonderful one day experience on the titicaca lake, safe boat, perfect timing between Uros Islands and Taquile Island, with nice walk across Taquile. The food you have at lunch is also Amazing and it's in such a unique location you wouldn't find it yourself on the island. 10/10 would recommend.

5.00We had an excellent Lake Titicaca tour. It is one of the most mesmerising experiences in life. The staff is amazing. The people are extremely polite and friendly and demonstrated to us how the floating islands are constructed. We spent one night here, and it was one of the most incredible adventures of our Peru trip. My advice is to visit also the islands and to sleep there for at least one night. Learned so much about it and it’s history and the people who live there. Definitely a place to see.
