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 birthplace of the Inca gods.

Titicaca Lake & Isla del Sol Catamaran Tour

After hotel pickup in Puno, we will head south to cross the border with Bolivia to reach Copacabana. Before departing for Isla del Sol, we will visit the Copacabana Sanctuary. At the port of Copacabana, we will board a catamaran to cross Lake Titicaca to the legendary Isla del Sol, with a snack provided on board.

We will disembark in Yumani at the southern tip of Isla del Sol to explore the area known as the cradle of the gods of the Inca Empire. The tour includes the archaeological remains, including the Inca Garden terraces and a hike up the Inca Staircase to the Sacred Fountain, believed to have healing properties.

Next, we will visit the Inti Wata Complex, featuring the Ekako underground museum, Traditional Medicine and Totora Raft Construction Centers, a handicraft center, the Intica shelter, a Botanical Garden of Inca agriculture, and Andean camelids.

After exploring Inca civilization secrets, we return to Yumani port to board the catamaran back to Copacabana, where a buffet lunch is served onboard, including quinoa soup, salads, trout or chicken, with sides and dessert. We will return to the hotels in Puno, arriving 11 hours later.
