Cusco, Puno, and Titicaca: The Dream Route to Explore Southern Peru

If you’re planning a trip through southern Peru and want a complete, authentic, and deeply cultural experience, this route is for you. Cusco, Puno, and Lake Titicaca offer a unique combination of living history, majestic landscapes, and genuine encounters with communities that preserve ancient traditions.

This circuit is perfect for travelers who seek more than just an itinerary—they want a meaningful journey. And with us, you can organize it simply, safely, and reliably.

Cusco: The Capital of the Inca Empire

Your journey begins in Cusco, a city that preserves the soul of the ancient Tahuantinsuyo and colonial heritage. Here you can:

• Stroll through the historic center, San Blas, and Qorikancha

• Visit the Sacred Valley or Machu Picchu

• Enjoy renowned Andean gastronomy

• Acclimate before continuing to higher-altitude areas like Puno

We recommend staying at least two nights in Cusco to acclimate properly and enjoy its charms before heading to the highlands.

Cusco to Puno: Making the Journey Part of the Experience

There are two main ways to travel between Cusco and Puno, both accessible and safe:

• The tourist bus with cultural stops at Raqchi, Andahuaylillas, and La Raya, ideal for travelers who want to make the most of the journey.

• The direct night bus, comfortable for resting and arriving early in Puno while saving a night of hotel stay.

With our support, you can choose the option that best fits your schedule and preferences. We coordinate your transportation in advance so you can travel hassle-free.

Lake Titicaca: A Meeting with Living Culture

Once in Puno, the true highlight is Lake Titicaca. From its shores, the best tours to the islands depart:

• Uros, with floating houses made of totora reeds

• Taquile, where textile traditions are preserved in every family

• Amantaní, the most authentic island experience, including an overnight stay with a local family

• Sillustani, with its mysterious funerary towers, the perfect complement to the lake

These tours allow you to experience not only landscapes but also the cultural soul of the Andean highlands.
