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.

Ticonata island is a dream come true, that is what I thought the first time that I visited it. It is a small and entchanting island close to main land, the natives have small motor boats to carry passengers; they started this business twenty years ago and kept the shape of their traditional houses that you will see in the photo gallery. This place has been hidden for so long and that is the beauty of it because you could be the only host with all the island for yourself. It used to be a burial place before inkas time. Its people are the best, they are quechuas, very kind and helpful, avid to share their culture, so, if you like culture and meeting people to learn from them about their traditions, way of life and history, this is the place for you, also I could say that if you wanted to relax and to have a solo time, this is what you were looking for!
- At 8:00 I will pick you up to go to the harbor, from there it takes 1h25 minutes to get to the floating islands. - In Uros we will spend about an hour. - Then we continue our trip to the northern peninsula to have lunch in a restaurant that belongs to a Quechua family. - Then we will head to Ticonata island, one hour and a half more. - When we arrive on the island the local family will welcome us, they cook usually vegetarian meals because they eat only what they can grow; but also they are fishermen. - In the afternoon they will share some of their traditions with you. - The next morning we will visit the local museum and walk around the island. - After lunch, we will head to land, which takes 15 minutes, and then our car will be waiting for us to drive back to Puno, one hour and a half more. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to customize this tour.
