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

This is the only place on earth where you'll see this kind of man-hand creations, actually, many or all the visitors that I went with, told me that it was their life dream to visit Uros because they saw the photos in books when they were students or when a teacher taught them about a remote place in the middle of the highest navagable lake of the world and thought that it was so unsual and different to all what they knew that decided that one day they would come to lake Ttitikaka. There is so much to say about the islands, their origin, and their people. It's fascinating what human beings are capable to build and how they managed to inhabit this area for so long. Come and discover it! This is a half-day tour that usually starts at 9:00 hrs and finishes at 12:00 hrs. But you can pick the start time.

Your Puno tour itinerary

- At 9:00 hrs starts the tour (could be also around 14:00 hrs) picking you up from your hotel to go to the harbor of Puno. - By boat it takes 25 min to get to the floating islands - Once there, the locals will tell us about their costumes, customs, religion and how they live and how they made these islands with their own hands. - You will have time to buy handicrafts (optional) or to take a reed boat, or to take a walk and to take photos. - Then we will return to Puno, to your hotel or the place where you ask me to.
