Itinerary

Traveling by Train to Puno Today we leave Cusco behind and embark on a panoramic journey toward Puno, crossing the spectacular landscapes of the Andean highlands. This route, known as the Route of the Sun, takes us through valleys, snow-capped peaks and communities that have preserved their traditions for centuries.

The journey aboard the Titicaca Train allows us to travel in comfort, enjoying privileged views through expansive windows while savoring lunch onboard. Along the route, we stop at emblematic sites such as Andahuaylillas, home to the so-called “Sistine Chapel of America”; Raqchi, with the remains of the majestic Temple of Wiracocha; and La Raya, the highest point of the journey, from where we contemplate the vastness of the Andean highlands.

In the afternoon, we arrive in Puno, on the shores of the legendary Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world and cradle of ancient myths and legends. Upon arrival, reception and transfer to the hotel to rest in complete tranquility.

We awaken to the golden light of sunrise reflecting upon the waters of Lake Titicaca, a serene spectacle that seems to suspend time itself. After breakfast, we board our boat to begin exploring this mystical lake, surrounded by history, silence and living traditions.

Our first stop is at the floating islands of the Uros, a world built upon reed platforms where this community has preserved its ancestral way of life for centuries. Here, we will discover their traditions, their connection to the lake and the extraordinary way they have adapted to nature.

We then continue toward Taquile Island, a place where textile traditions are an essential part of local identity. Its open landscapes, peaceful atmosphere and strong sense of community transform the visit into a deeply authentic experience. Throughout the journey, we take the time to appreciate every detail without rush.

At the end of the day, we return to Puno to rest and enjoy a peaceful evening by the lakeshore.
