Peru’s folkloric capital, Puno is effervescent with an energy that captivates all who live in its midst. Fiestas, traditional dances and Catholic ritual merge seamlessly in this city making it the perfect base to explore the indigenous islands of Lake Titicaca.

Set against the backdrop of the ice-capped Andes, the sapphire blue waters of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, will bewitch you with its mystique and legend. Walk on the floating ‘totora’ reed islands of Uros and see the mysterious burial chambers of Sillustani. The remote island of Taquile on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca, was once a prized Inca territory. The islanders still speak Quechua, the language of the Incas, and the weaving tradition is particular to the island.

Inca legends, sunsets over the snow-dipped Andean mountains and the rugged beauty of Peru – this tour showcases Peru at its best.
