Description:

Experience Southern Peru on this 3-day journey to Lake Titicaca—South America's largest lake—and the surrounding Puno province. Considered the folklore capital of Peru, this is the perfect region for fully immersing yourself in Peru’s rich and fascinating historical and cultural heritage.

Day 1: Andahuaylillas - Raqchi - Abra La Raya
Driving though the Abra La Raya mountain pass on the way to Puno, soak up the pastoral atmosphere of the high-altitude Peruvian countryside. Pass by bustling market towns and the Aguas Calientes thermal pools. Stop in the pretty Andean village of Andahuaylillas to admire its magnificently decorated Baroque Iglesia de San Pedro and enjoy a savory Peruvian lunch. Move on to the Raqchi archeological site—here you can admire the Temple of Wiracocha and other Inca structures as you learn about this ancient civilization.

Day 2: Sillustani - Taquile - Uros Islands
The trip continues to the ruins of Sillustani, a pre-Incan burial ground on the shores of Lake Umayo dotted with tombs. From there, continue on to the mountain-framed expanse of Lake Titicaca and the island of Taquile, where the locals are renowned for their handmade textiles. Visit the Uro people to see their unique floating islands, buildings, and boats, all fashioned from tortora reeds.

Day 3: Cusco
Your tour winds to a close and you return to your Cusco hotel or the Cusco International Airport.
