Lake Titicaca, Peru Holidays & Bolivia Tours: Train from Cusco to Puno + Uros Islands
Lake Titicaca Peru holidays & Bolivia tours will transport you by train from Cusco to Puno and the Uros Islands, travelling across the stunning scenery of the high altitude Andean Plateau to the largest navigable inland sea in the world.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Lake Titicaca forms a natural border between Peru and Bolivia, and around this lake you will find fascinating indigenous cultures that survived the Spanish colonial conquest. Lake Titicaca Peru had great spiritual significance for the Inca people, as they believed that Viracocha, the god of creation, arose from these waters to form the world.
It takes about a day to reach Lake Titicaca on Peru holidays & Bolivia tours, travelling on the scenic PeruRail train from Cusco to Puno (the main town) and the Uros Islands. Another alternative is a trip on the luxurious overnight Belmond train. As trains only depart on certain days of the week, on other days you can transfer by road.
From the hustle and bustle of the university town of Puno, to the unique floating Uros islands made entirely of reeds and where an indigenous community has lived for centuries, there is a lot to see and do here. The lake is dotted with islands, so you can visit the ‘knitting men’ of Taquile Island and observe the serene lifestyle of the Aymara people.
On Lake Titicaca Peru holidays & Bolivia tours you can continue by road to the dramatic Colca Canyon, known for its Andean condors and hot springs, or by train to the colonial city of Arequipa. Bolivia tours stay overnight on Sun Island, before continuing to La Paz and the salt flats at Uyuni, the largest in the world.
Please be aware that Lake Titicaca is at very high altitude (12,500 ft / 3,800 m), so you should take time to acclimatise, always walk slowly and never exert yourself.

The Sillustani tombs archaeological site north of Puno is also very interesting, with circular funeral towers ('chullpas') built out of stone - some as tall as 40 ft (12 m). These mystic structures were used by both the pre-Inca Collas civilisation and the Incas. From here you can enjoy views of Lake Umayo.
