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 hotel pickup in Puno, you'll head south to cross into Bolivia to reach Copacabana. Before departing for Isla del Sol, a visit to the Copacabana Sanctuary is included. At the port of Copacabana, you'll board a catamaran to travel through Lake Titicaca to Isla del Sol, with a snack provided on board.

Upon disembarking in Yumani, explore the area considered the cradle of the Inca gods. You'll discover archaeological remains, including an impressive system of terraces known as the Inca Garden. The tour includes the Inca Staircase leading to the Sacred Fountain, viewed locally as "the fountain of youth."

The visit continues to the Inti Wata Complex, Bolivia's main private tourist attraction exclusively accessible to those arriving via catamaran. Here, you'll find the Ekako underground museum, Traditional Medicine and Totora Raft Construction Centers, a handicraft center, the Intica shelter, and a Botanical Garden of Inca agriculture.

After the visit, return to Yumani and board the catamaran back to Copacabana. A buffet lunch on board includes quinoa soup, salads, trout or chicken, and dessert. After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Puno, approximately 11 hours after departure.
