Unusual parenthesis on Lake Titicaca
4 days / 3 nights (Option 3 days / 2 nights)
DAY 1
The discovery of the Altiplano
Your destiny? The largest navigable lake in Latin America and the highest in the world at an altitude of 3,811 m. Upon arrival at Juliaca airport, to allow you to adapt to the altitude without problems, we offer you a rest in an isolated hacienda in the heart of the Altiplano, about 20 minutes from Puno.
Depending on your time of arrival at the place, you can discover the surroundings, enjoy the farm and these places out of the world. Fundo Chincheros is a ranch from the end of the 19th century, dedicated to traditional Andean breeding and recently to welcoming passengers. Here you will have a full experience of contact with farm animals and nature. You will spend the night in rooms full of character, comfortable and colorful, decorated with typical details. There are only five rooms on site to ensure maximum privacy for all.
Dinner and night in the place.
DAY 2
One day at the hacienda
Here the day lengthens and flies at the same time. We take advantage of the peace that surrounds us to disconnect but activities are not lacking: walks in the surroundings for example in the heart of a cactus forest, bird watching, getting close to the llamas and alpacas that make up the farm's herd and sharing the activities daily or take the reins of a horse ride.
Gardens and nature are everywhere. As an option, archeology lovers can also visit the traditional Sillustani chullpas in a private vehicle. When night falls, the fire crackles and we gather for an outdoor barbecue that ends with braised marshmallow mash. Second night in its little Andean cocoon.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and accommodation in the place.
DAY 3
Discovering the towns of Titicaca
This morning we will leave you on the shores of the famous Andean lake for an extraordinary new experience: meeting its inhabitants. The Uros Islands are reached in traditional boats made of totora (reeds). The most motivated will even be able to row. This traditional means of transport allows you to contemplate the lake gently. You will have the opportunity to discover a unique way of life and culture in the world.
After lunch taken at your table, you will live with the local population rich moments in sharing doing with them their daily activities (fishing, cattail harvesting ...) A totally timeless afternoon and night awaits you in the famous reed islands of Los Uros. You will sleep in one of these thatched houses shaken by Titicaca.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and accommodation in the place.
DAY 4
Discovering the Titicaca villages by the lake
Early this morning, you may be woken up by the visit of the "shop boat" that travels the islands every morning to supply the inhabitants with basic products (bread, butter, etc.). Then you will have the opportunity to share some activities with the locals: change the fishing nets laid the day before, cut reeds (reeds), embroider ...
At the end of the morning, you return to the continent still aboard the traditional reed boats. Upon arrival on board, you will have time to take a small pedestrian tour of the city of Puno and take some time for lunch, then we will accompany you back to the Juliaca airport.
