Reflections from the Cradle of the Andes
Straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia, the lake’s highland traditions are steeped in ancient lore. A journey through its farms, islands, and villages offers a window into a fascinating tapestry of influences from the Inca, Uros, Pukara, Tiwanaku, and Qulla.
While Puno is the main hub on the Peruvian side of the lake, it’s just a start. To sail to the floating villages on the Uros islands, trek the Colla Trail, and cycle along the Plateria fields to reconnect to a rare pace of life. Go further and delve into ancient history at the ‘pink city’ of Lampa or the ruins of Sillustani and the Copamaya weaving communities. Our trips weave folklore, history, and nature for the ultimate dose of rejuvenation and inspiration at the spiritual heart of one of the world’s great cradles of civilization.
