start date: 2009-01-01
end date: 2009-12-31

From exploring Puno, situated on the banks of the immense Titicaca Lake on the Peruvian side, to the famous Sun Island and Moon Valley in Bolivia, this tour will be an unforgettable experience.

Get a flavour of Peru’s indigenous culture at the floating Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. Meet the Uros Indians who live on ‘totora’ reed homes and continue to make their living from fishing and agriculture. The ‘chullpas’ or funerary towers at the Sillustani graves bear silent testimony to the ancient practices of the Colla warriors.

Learn more about the fascinating history of the Incas at the Sun Island, located on the Bolivian side on the lake. Largest of the 41 islands on the immense Titicaca Lake, this island is believed to be the cradle of the mighty Inca civilization. Surrounded by the mystical blue waters of the 3280-metre high Lake Titicaca, enjoy a panoramic view of the Andes from this venerated island.

Explore La Paz, the administrative capital city of Bolivia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the Valley of the Moon, see a fascinating profusion of eroded pinnacles and canyons, creating the image of a lunar landscape.

With Inca ruins, a cruise on Lake Titicaca and both Peru’s and Bolivia’s stunning landscape, this promises to be a memorable holiday.
