After taking in the breathtaking scenery, enjoy a relaxing afternoon at leisure with the option to explore nearby hiking trails and panoramic viewpoints at your own pace.

  • Journey across the dramatic Andean highlands from Cabanaconde to Puno, combining a scenic transfer with a rewarding 44 km cycling stage through the vast altiplano and over a 4,080 m mountain pass. The day finishes with a descent toward the shores of Lake Titicaca and a visit to the fascinating archaeological site of Sillustani, famous for its pre-Inca burial towers overlooking Lake Umayo.

  • Spend a full day exploring the breathtaking waters and traditions of Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. Visit the floating Uros reed islands and the remote community of Taquile Island, where a scenic guided walk reveals stunning lake views, ancient traditions, and everyday life on the island before returning to Puno in the afternoon.
