THE MAGICAL WORLD OF LAKE TITICACA
3 days & 2 nights
|
Click here to see the Multi-Day package.
For thousands of years the greatest civilizations have had many stories of their origin.
Legend has it that the Sun placed his two children, male and female, on the Island of Lake
Titicaca, later named as Island of the Sun. They were to teach the barbaric people better
living conditions on the earth. Manco Capac and his wife Mama Ocllo (Huaca) are said to be
the two children. Hence the Inca civilization had begun. Located on and around the highest
navigable lake in the world (12,580 ft.) are many areas of historical and archaeological
interest. Though it would take several days to reach every one of these sights, we have tours
to the most important locations. Entering from Puno or La Paz you can take a variety of
multi-day tours to fit into your vacation. Listed below are two general trips that take you
to the focal points of Lake Titicaca.
