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

Cutimbo is a burial place located 40 minutes far from Puno, it is quiet and we could be the only ones visiting it, which makes it more special and I love it because it feels like if you were the very first one to discover a new place that has an important history to share. Imagine Lupacas people, who lived there for hundreds of years, who asked the Inca from Cusco their tax of blood in the several wars the Inca's empire had. They made an alliance with the Incas and were considered like one of the bravest people for so long, actually aimaras could be someone to fear of, even nowadays.

Your Puno tour itinerary

- I will pick you up at the time and at the place that you ask me to. - From Puno city to Cutimbo, takes thirty minutes. - We have to hike a steep path with steps. - We make stops in the way up for explanations, to take pictures, and to rest. That could take about an hour and half to reach the top. - We will see the pre-Inca tombs that were built in the 14th and 15th centuries and that still nowadays are locked with the mummies inside. - We will spend around forty minutes up there and then come down. -Return to Puno. - Bring a hat, water, camera, layers, sunblock. - Do not forget that physical activity is harder at 3890 m. a. s. l or 12730 feet. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to customize this tour.
