Tour Details

If you go to Puno, it's probable to visit the famous Lake Titicaca; the world's highest navigable lake. This tour provides an opportunity to see the lake and visit its unique floating islands.

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Puno, followed by a trip to the port. You will then board a boat and sail on the lake for approximately one hour. It is noted that 60% of the lake is in Peru and 40% in Bolivia, allowing you to enjoy impressive views.
