Step back in time to the origins of the largest empire in pre-Columbian America with this Titicaca Lake & Isla del Sol Catamaran Tour. You'll cross the waters of the freshwater lake to visit the legendary birthplace of the Inca gods.
Titicaca Lake & Isla del Sol Catamaran Tour
After picking you up at your hotel in Puno at 6:30, we'll head south to cross the border with Bolivia to get to Copacabana.
Before leaving for the Isal del Sol, we'll go to the Copacabana Sanctuary. At the port of Copacabana, we'll board a catamaran that will take us through the waters of Lake Titicaca to the legendary Isla del Sol. During the trip we'll offer you a snack on board to cure your hunger!
We'll disembark in Yumani, at the southern tip of the legendary Isla del Sol and explore the area considered as the cradle of the gods responsible for the origin of the Inca Empire. We'll discover the archaeological remains of the Incas, including an impressive system of terraces known as the Inca Garden. The tour will lead us up the famous Inca Staircase to reach the Sacred Fountain where underground streams of water converge, considered by the locals as "the fountain of youth" for its supposed healing properties.
Our next stop will be the impressive Inti Wata Complex, to visit the Ekako underground museum, the Inca's Refuge and the Pachamama terraces of Inca agriculture, and attend an Andean ceremony conducted by a Kallawaka. Then, we'll discover the ancestral Andean navigation, on board a traditional totora reed raft. From the boat, we'll get an impressive view of the Pilkokaina Palace.
After discovering the secrets and legends of the Inca civilization, we'll return to the port of Yumani to embark on the catamaran that will take us back to Copacabana. Around 2:30 pm, we'll have a delicious buffet lunch on board. The meal includes quinoa soup, different salads, trout with dijon or chicken in its sauce, with spring rice, sautéed potatoes or cooked banana, and dessert (ice cream or fruit salad).
Once in Copacabana and we'll head back to the hotels in Puno, arriving around 6:30 pm.
