Description
We will pick you up at the meeting point in Puno at the indicated time, we will head south until we cross the border with Bolivia to reach Copacabana. Before leaving for Isla del Sol, we will go to see the Sanctuary of Copacabana. At the port of Copacabana we will board a catamaran that will take us across the waters of Lake Titicaca to the legendary Isla del Sol. During the crossing, we will offer you a snack on board so you can replenish your energy. We will disembark in Yumani, at the southern tip of the legendary Isla del Sol. We will explore this area considered the birthplace of the gods responsible for the origin of the Inca empire. We will visit some of the archaeological remains of the Incas, including an impressive system of terraces known as the Garden of the Inca. We will climb the famous Inca Staircase to reach the Sacred Fountain, where underground streams of water of three different flavors converge, considered by locals as 'the fountain of youth' for its supposed healing properties. Our next stop will be the impressive Inti Wata Complex, Bolivia's main private tourist attraction, accessible only to tourists visiting Isla del Sol on board catamarans. This attraction includes the Ekako Underground Museum, the Traditional Medicine and Totora Raft Building Centers, a handicraft center, the Intica shelter, an Inca agricultural Botanical Garden, and a variety of Andean camelids. Next, we will discover what ancient Andean navigation was like by taking a ride on a typical totora raft. From the boat, we will get a stunning panoramic view of the Pilkokaina Palace. After discovering the secrets and legends of the Inca civilization, we will return to the port of Yumani to board the catamaran again that will take us back to Copacabana. Afterwards, we will have a delicious buffet lunch on board. The meal includes quinoa soup, different salads, trout in Dijon or chicken in its sauce, with spring rice, sautéed potatoes or cooked plantain, and dessert (ice cream or fruit salad). Once in Copacabana and with our energies recharged, we will head back to Puno, where we will arrive 11 hours after the pick-up service.
