Hi, my name is Sandra and I was born in Puno 38 years ago. I feel so blessed for being peruvian and to be from Puno because we have the most enigmatic lake of the world right in front of us and I´m not kidding, it´s not about being proud of the place where I was born, it´s thousends of people traveling to come here because they know the importance of this place and I would like to share that with you. I just want to create a the perfect experience that suits for you and your party group; if you do not want to wake up too early, it is fine! if you are vegan, vegetarian, celiac or have any restriction, no problem, I will find delicious food for you, if you like or dislike hiking, no problem! I can find the best path for you, if you have a list of the places that you want to visit but you do not know how to make it work, just let me know and I will customize the best tour for you with all what you expect! If the prices of my tours are not the right ones, do not worry! those are for 2 people but I can customize them specially according to your needs, just contact me! My country is beautiful and I love it, everything is full of energy and life that makes me feel alive and ready to let you know more about our traditions, history and cosmovision. I am sure that you won't ever forget this land of mystery for humankind. Peru has 47 native languages which means that we are different in 47 ways and also a mix of several cultures that have populated this land since thousends of years ago; only in my region we have almost 300 different dances, music and choreographies. I have worked in travel agencies in Lima (operations department), in hotels here in Puno and finally as a tour guide for the past twelve years, 15 years of experience in this industry! So you can be sure that your tour with me will be well organized, on time and you will receive exactly what you asked for. Come to Peru, come to lake Titikaka! I hold a Degree in Tourism and I am a licensed tour guide for Puno area. I also can pick you up/drop you off, from/in the airport (Juliaca), Cusco, the Colca Canyon, Rainbow mountain or the border with Bolivia, just contact me to custom your tour. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Puno tour

The first time that I went to Uros, seemed to me that it was something unusual to think how and why they decided to live that way, there was a mistery around them. My grandma told stories about them and how they used to be in the 30's when she was a child, they have changed of course, the costums and hairstyle are not same. . . if you want to know more, you have to come because their spirit is the same and they have a lot to tell you because Uros people have been living here for the last 1500 or 3000 years! Finally but not less important, Taquile island is entchanting, I cannot tell you that is wonderful and that you will find it amazing. I just can say that I enjoy every time that I come back to the island as it was the first time and the people who I went with told me that really enjoyed it, some of the strenghs of the island are its people, who are descendants of the Inkas and pre inkas, and the landscape, it can make you fall in love. This lake has mistery and history, I am proud of being from Puno.
