Lake Titicaca Catamaran & Sol Island Visit
Lake Titicaca Catamaran & Sol Island Visit
At 6:30 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in La Paz. We'll drive to the sanctuary where the Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana, an important pilgrimage site, is located.
From here, we'll board the catamaran and start sailing on the breathtaking Lake Titicaca, which is also known as the highest navigable lake in the world.
As we make our way to Sol Island, which is the lake's largest island and the former seat of the Inca Empire, we'll admire beautiful views of the lake. Legend has it that Viracocha, the Incan Sun God, was born here.
We'll visit the gardens and the Inca Fountain before heading to the Inti Wata archaeological complex. This incredible place is not only one of the main attractions on Sol Island, but in all of Bolivia.
While we're here, we'll also visit the Ekako underground museum and the island's traditional medicine and totora reed raft construction centres. We'll also explore the island's flora and fauna with a visit to the agricultural terraces and the herds of Andean camelids that live by the Manco Capac viewpoint.
Before we say goodbye to Sol Island, we'll take a boat ride on one of the traditional totora reed rafts. From the rafts, we'll see fantastic panoramic views of the Pilkokaina Palace.
After the totora reed boat ride, we'll return to the catamaran and have a delicious buffet lunch as we cruise through the lake. We'll then reach the mainland, where you'll be taken back to your hotel by bus for an estimated arrival time of 7 pm.
Finish in Puno
If you'd prefer, you can choose to end the catamaran cruise in Puno. The route we follow will be the same as what's been detailed above. After lunch, we'll take you to Puno by bus.
