From Puno to the sacred birthplace of Lake Titicaca

Discover two countries and one of the Altiplano’s most important cultural landscapes in a single day. The tour leaves Puno early, crosses the Peru–Bolivia border and continues to Copacabana, the departure point for a cruise across Lake Titicaca.

On Sun Island you will explore the southern sector, its terraces, stone paths and places connected with Andean tradition. The walk includes slopes and stairways at high altitude, rewarded by sweeping lake views and, on clear days, the Cordillera Real.

The Rainbow Mountain tour exceeded all of our expectations! The entire trip was well organized, with comfortable transportation, a delicious breakfast and lunch, and a friendly, professional guide who made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The views along the hike were incredible, and reaching the top to see Rainbow Mountain was absolutely worth it. Our guide gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and learn about the local culture and the surrounding Andes. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco. Everything was handled perfectly, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. Thank you for such an unforgettable adventure!

Terrible service. We booked a bus with them, but they never came to pick us up at the hotel. They didn't answer any of our calls or messages, and of course, they didn't refund our money. I strongly advise against using this agency.
