Bolivia Tours from Puno

Our Bolivia tours turn the trip from Puno to La Paz into a full day on Lake Titicaca. Instead of a long bus ride, you cross the border to Copacabana, sail to the Sun Island, the sacred island of the Incas, and continue to La Paz in the evening. You choose between a catamaran cruise and a hydrofoil cruise that also visits the Moon Island. Your luggage travels with you, and we drop you at your hotel in La Paz.

Prices are per person in a shared group and include the transfer from your hotel in Puno to your hotel in La Paz.

Catamaran or Hydrofoil?

• Catamaran: a slower, more relaxed crossing with a buffet lunch on board. On the Sun Island you visit the Inti Wata complex, with a Kallawaya ceremony and a demonstration of ancestral sailing methods, and the Inca ruins of Pilkokaina.
• Hydrofoil: a faster boat that lets you visit two islands: the Moon Island, with the Iñak Uyu temple of the Virgins of the Sun, and the Sun Island, with the Inca stairs and the sacred fountain. Lunch is at a restaurant on the island.

From Puno to La Paz across Lake Titicaca

Both tours leave Puno at 6:30 am and follow the shore of the lake to the border and on to Copacabana, the Bolivian town on Lake Titicaca, where you visit the cathedral and its main square. From Copacabana you sail to the islands. In the afternoon the route continues by road, crossing the Tiquina Strait, and arrives in La Paz in the evening. It is the best way to travel from Puno to La Paz if you want to see the Bolivian side of the lake on the way.
