Book a transfer from Cusco to Puno — a spectacular journey across the Andean altiplano to the shores of Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake at 3,812 meters.
The 390 km journey takes 6 to 7 hours via the paved Ruta 3S, crossing the high-altitude altiplano at elevations exceeding 4,000 meters. The route passes through the La Raya Pass (4,335m), traditional Quechua and Aymara villages, vast grasslands with grazing alpacas and llamas, and the pre-Inca ruins of Raqchi and Pukara. Many tourist buses include stops at these sites.
Puno sits on the shores of Lake Titicaca, a vast deep-blue lake straddling the Peru-Bolivia border at 3,812 meters above sea level. The lake is famous for the Uros floating islands — artificial reed islands built and inhabited by the Uros people for centuries. Taquile and Amantani islands offer homestay experiences with indigenous communities maintaining ancient textile traditions. Puno is also known for its vibrant festivals, earning it the title "Folklore Capital of Peru."
