We will sail by boat on Lake Titicaca that extends along the border between Peru and Bolivia in the Andes mountain range and is one of the largest lakes in South America and the highest navigable body of water in the world. It is said to be the cradle of the Incas and has several ruins. Its waters are known for being calm and giving a bright reflection. In its surroundings, is located the Titicaca National Reserve that houses rare aquatic species, such as giant frogs.
they are a set of habitable artificial surfaces built of totora, an aquatic plant that grows on the surface of Lake Titicaca. The islands stand on a portion of the surface of Lake Titicaca, overlapping blocks of Totora roots on which successive layers of woven or woven totora are laid on mats. Its inhabitants, the Uros, are an ancestral people
The attraction of the island is concentrated in experiential tourism, from the contact with the customs and tasks of the people that dwells. Living with the people of Taquile, will allow the traveler to know the different rites and beliefs that their people have, and thus assess the hills of Taquile that, for their inhabitants, are seen as protective Apus, and therefore, places of visit , as well as Andean rituals
Lunch in Taquile we will try the Lake trout

Travel interesting in a very comfortable onibus (Inka express) with several stops and excellent lunch, when arriving in Puno we were taken to an excellent hotel well in the heart of Puno, the next day tour by urus and taquile, and return on bus bed to cusco.
It was fantastic! The bus was very comfortable (a double decker) the hotel was good and convenient located. The tor itself was superb! Efrain, our Tour Guide was amazing! Helping us all the way. Excellent tour, well paced, unforgettable!
Hello, good morning. Thank you very much for your comment. We appreciate your reservation with us.
The sights are amazing The guides are friendly and competent The organization is of high quality I highly recommend!
Everything worked perfectly, the guide was always worried about us that we liked it and everything worked according to plan. Excursion on Lake Titicaca is highly recommended, also to get to know the culture, and how they live there, very impressive. Very satisfied, again and again!
Hallo guten Morgen. Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Wir hoffen, Sie wieder auf unserer Tour begrüßen zu dürfen, sei es nach Machu Picchu oder zum Titicacasee. Mit freundlichen Grüße
A great tour! Even the drive over the plateau and the pass from Cusco to Puno is worthwhile by day. In between you will visit indigenous and Christian sites worth seeing. The whole following day on Lake Titicaca is an absolute highlight, the floating islands of the Uros, another beautiful island far out in the lake with views of Bolivia in the distance, beach and bathing facilities. The food was excellent both days, hotel appealing, guides very nice and competent. The bus is extremely comfortable, I'm not really a fan of night rides if it can be set up differently in time, but the seats fold down to loungers where you can sleep well, curtains create some privacy.
Very nice circuit, I recommend you. Very nice hotel in Puno in front of the cathedral which is really to see. The boat on Lake Titicaca great with the vistas of Uros and Taquile and the trout dish very good.
Very well organised. Bus ride was very comfortable and loved the stops at the various archaeological sites.I enjoyed my time on Lake Titicaca too. Highly recommended.
Loved the experience and would recommend it. I only wished it was specified more clear that it is 2 days, 1 night in Puno and 1 night on the bus sleeping on your way back to Cusco, so it is technically 2 days and 2 nights. Day 1: They are very punctual, which also means you are very very rushed at all stops. Not enough time for pictures. The lunch was good but the restrooms (men/women) were very very bad. The restroom on the sleeper bus going back had the urinal right in your face if a lady has to use the facility which was very unhygienic and nasty - so ladies beware. Other than that, the tour guide was really nice, the equipment (motorcoaches) were new, the hotel was clean and quaint, the tour to the Uros island was nice. You do feel a bit pressured (even if they say no pressure) to buy something because you feel bad and the family really insists you buy something to help them out. But they are all very nice, the guide to the islands, the boat, and the highlight was also Taquille island with the locals setting up a dance demonstration, use of some indiginous cacti for cleaning, the crafts and the lunch was great there. The family was so accommodating, friendly, very clean, great food, clean restrooms with soap and paper (big bonus), and the views....amazing. I would still recommend the trip as it does take you to experience other people in their environment and you are being exposed to their ways, which is awesome.
Hello, good morning, thank you very much for your comment. We continue to grow and improve more.
Lake Titicaca ( TitiKaka ) trip from Cusco to Puno The trip was well organised with taxi meeting me in Cusco Plaza at 6.15 a.m. this took me to the coach and I recent ticket via WhatsApp and communication throughput the trip. The coach journey with five stops was well paced and the scenery is epic and you are 2.7 miles at highest point with views of many mountains and Apus. A taxi met me at the coach stop in Puno and took me to my hotel in the main square, 3 star and perfect for a night stay. In the morning another taxi picked me up and took me to the port at Puno and we had a great guide who explained the trip. The floating islands are amazing and great to see families living on them and the boat ride to Taquile island is spectacular with views to Bolivia, lunch was delicious 😋 and we returned after a long day to port Puno and I explored Puno until 9 pm when I was picked up again by pre-arranged taxi and shown how to get my coach ticket sorted out for the night coach, the coach was very hot and bumpy, not a good night sleep. overall 5 star for the trip to Lake TitiKaKa. Thank You Kev ( EnglishMystic )
Hello, good day, thank you very much for your comment. We will improve our services further, but the situation of the roads in our country is beyond my control. The bus I traveled on is one of the best we have in Cusco. Once again, thank you very much.
Great experience. All accommodations where absolutely amazing. The assistance of the personnel before the trip, during the booking process and later during the trip was outstanding. Beautiful places, super nice people, so glad we did this trip.
