Lake Titicaca

Day 1: Welcome to Lake Titicaca

Set on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the vibrant town of Puno is the provincial capital. Upon arrival at the airport, you'll be warmly greeted and chauffeured to the GHL Hotel Lago Titicaca, situated on a peninsula, surrounded by the calm, sacred waters of Lake Titicaca.

Day 2: Explore Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca is one of the highest lakes in the world and the largest in South America. Its beauty is breathtaking to behold and its sacred waters have been revered since pre-Inca times. Titicaca is perhaps best known for its amazing floating islands - made of Totora reeds and home to small but vibrant communities of the Uros people. This morning, you'll set out with our expert guide on a boat shared with other guests to cross the waters and step ashore on these remarkable manmade structures. As you learn firsthand about their construction and maintenance, and the secrets behind their buoyancy, you'll also gain insight into the history, traditions and daily of the Uros. You'll also visit Taquile Island, famed for ancient agricultural terraces that climb the hillside from the lakeshore; its residents still speak the language of the Inca and weave beautiful textiles using techniques that have changed little over the centuries. Meals B + L

Day 3: Towers of Sillustani + Back to Lima

Check out this morning and visit the remarkable towers of Sillustani that dot the rolling hills of the Lake Umayo peninsula. Erected by an ancient warlike people that pre-dated the Inca here in the region, these cylindrical structures, some reaching heights of more than 30 feet, were used as burial towers for entire noble families, along with food and belongings that would be needed for the journey into the next world. A boxed lunch will be provided. Transfer to the airport for your onward journey. For late departures we've included the use of a day-room at the conveniently located Wyndham Lima Airport Hotel.
