Give yourself a unique Andean experience by going from Cusco to Puno by private bus transportation. We have designed this trip to allow you to enjoy a memorable journey on the Andean altiplano and get away from the monotony of a long train ride. You will see beautiful Andean lakes, experience a walk on the last Inca's suspended bridge over the roaring Apurimac River and enjoy a wonderful lunch at the famous Hot Springs near La Raya Pass (4368 m). Visit and discover the pre-Inca site of Pukara, an important Andean civilization, before reaching your destination in Puno. We are not afraid to leave the main highway and take you to remote places to make this 12-hours trip something that you will remember for a very long time. |
