Enjoy the landscapes, stunning views, enrich yourself with a cultural immersion and the most impressive attractions offered. The trip starts from the Cusco or Puno Puno and takes almost 3 hours to drive around the region of Puno

First stop at the point known as the raya pass, where we can take some amazing photos, besides being able to breathe and relax the legs.

Also known as Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain is a viral hit with travelers thanks to the photogenic nature of its mineral stripes. Getting there requires good physical fitness and proper acclimatization. The 10km round-trip to a high viewpoint facing the mountain is gentle in grade but the high altitude (reaching above 5000m) takes its toll. Try to ascend slowly. With great Ausangate views.

Located in the Andes Mountains, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia.

It sits at an altitude of about 3,812 meters (12,507 feet) above sea level, making it the highest navigable lake in the world.

The lake covers about 8,372 km² (3,232 sq mi), making it the largest lake in South America by volume of water and surface area.
