Overview
The Sun and Moon Island from Puno tour heads overland to Copacabana, on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca, where travelers visit the shrine of the Dark Indian Virgin, one of the most venerated sites in the region. From there, a hydrofoil cruise carries the group across open water toward Moon Island.
On Moon Island, the visit centers on the Iñak Uyu, the Sun Virgins Temple, an Inca-era structure linked to the women who once served the sun cult. The hydrofoil then continues to Sun Island, the larger and better-known of the two, where the Inca Grand Stairs and the Sacred Fountain await.
Tradition holds that the spring water at the Sacred Fountain grants eternal youth and happiness, and most visitors take a sip before sitting down to lunch at the Uma Kollu archaeological restaurant, right beside a small handicraft market selling local textiles and souvenirs.
Between Inca stonework, Bolivian tradition and the open waters of Lake Titicaca, the Sun and Moon Island from Puno tour blends history, culture and scenery into a single, well-paced day on one of South America's most iconic lakes.
