Explore the Uros floating islands and Taquile Island on this full-day journey, one of our most requested excursions. Neither land, sky, nor water, but existing at the intersection of all three, the Uros Titino islands are formed from the roots of totora reeds — a singular building material that allows these floating communities to endure upon Lake Titicaca. Meeting the Uro-Aymara people offers a rare opportunity to learn from skilled raftsmen and master weavers, whose ancestral knowledge sustains both their islands and their remarkable heritage.

In contrast, Taquile is a natural island, home to the Quechua people, whose artistry in textiles has been recognised by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Here, imagination and identity are woven into vivid designs, each thread carrying meaning.

Your visit culminates with a picnic, enjoyed with sweeping views of Titicaca’s mirrored waters and the deep blue skies above, framed by Bolivia’s majestic Cordillera Real mountain range.

The full-day Aymara Route excursion offers a profound immersion into the landscapes, nature, and sweeping vistas of Ácora and the Chucuito Peninsula. Step back into the pre-Incan era as your guide shares legends and stories that illuminate Lake Titicaca’s sacred place in local worldviews and its enduring role as a life-giving resource. Travel along winding paths, open fields, and pastures — by car, bicycle, or on foot — observing native birds in their natural habitats, exploring archaeological sites, and admiring the vast horizons. Along the way, meet members of neighbouring communities and learn about their traditions and ways of life. At natural viewpoints, pause to enjoy a specially prepared lunch, framed by the serene beauty and majesty of the lake.

Please allow approximately 7–9 hours for the experience.

Visit Sillustani, the region’s most important pre-Hispanic burial site, where the archaeological complex reveals the depth of its ancient heritage. Overlooking the serene waters of Lake Umayo, Sillustani is renowned for its chullpas — towering funerary monuments built to honour nobles and distinguished figures. As you wander through the site, notice the contrasts in style, from the smaller, rustic pre-Incan towers to the larger and more refined Incan constructions. The most impressive, the Lizard Tower, stands as a testament to remarkable engineering, believed to have taken more than fifty years to complete.

Available exclusively en route to or from the airport, this excursion offers a seamless opportunity to experience a place where archaeology, history, and breathtaking landscapes converge.

Please allow approximately 1–3 hours for the experience.

Discover the epicentre of evangelisation during the Spanish conquest with a visit to the historic churches of Juli and Pomata. Set between Cuzco and the former mining hub of Potosí, these religious centres stand at the crossroads of cultural legacies, the silver boom, and the meeting of faiths.

In Juli, known as the “Little Rome of America,” explore four remarkable churches dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Continue to Pomata, celebrated for its baroque temple built entirely from red pumice stone — a masterpiece that inspired other colonial churches across South America. Within, gold leaf altars and distinguished paintings from the viceregal period highlight the artistic richness of the era.

Recently restored, these seldom-visited sites offer a serene journey into the region’s colonial past.

Please allow approximately 4–5 hours for the experience.

COLONIAL TEMPLES VISIT Credit: Andean

Your journey begins at Molloco, an archaeological site that reveals the fusion of Inca and Lupaca cultures. Here, ancient structures and burial sites tell stories of a region shaped by history and tradition. A short drive then takes you to the mystical Aramu Muru, also known as the Wilka Uta portal, a sacred pre-Incan site admired for its striking rock formations. At its heart lies a massive stone with a human-sized rectangular frame, believed by local communities to be a dimensional portal—a gateway between the physical and spiritual worlds. Our expert guides will share the legends and rituals tied to this revered place. For those who wish, a short hike up the surrounding rocks rewards with sweeping views over Lake Titicaca and the Andes.

Please allow approximately 1–3 hours for the entire experience.

Let our guides gently take you on a raft through the vast stretches of totora reeds near the lodge, where you’ll discover the importance of this hydrophilic plant to life on Lake Titicaca.

As you glide through the reeds, you’ll also observe the unique habitat they create for bird species such as the goldcrest, flightless grebe, moorhen, and heron.

Please allow approximately 1–3 hours for the entire experience.
