Explore the Sacred Valley with Peru Alive and transform your life on this dream journey!
As part of our sacred earth journey, we visit Puno, a vibrant city on the shores of sacred Lake Titicaca, a key stop for travelers en route to Bolivia. Puno is renowned for its Andean culture and the Virgen de la Candelaria festival, one of the most significant cultural celebrations in the region.
Exploring the floating islands of Uros, we connect with the sacred energy of one of the oldest indigenous cultures in America. These unique islands, made of Totoras reeds, are home to families who sustain their traditions through fishing, hunting, and weaving intricate tapestries.
Continuing our Cuzco spiritual travel, we reach Taquile Island, where an ancient route leads us through breathtaking landscapes and deep Andean spirituality. A hike to Mount Lakastiti (3,810m) offers a panoramic view where the essence of this sacred journey blends with the beauty of nature.
ITINERARY DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROGRAM WITH PERU ALIVE
DAY 1: CUSCO – PUNO
We start this sacred journey by traveling by bus for approximately six hours until we reach Puno. Along this ancient route, we will witness breathtaking landscapes, passing through the majestic Andes of Peru, where herds of llamas and alpacas graze peacefully on the hills.
This journey offers a deep connection with Andean culture, as we traverse the vast Altiplano, an almost flat geography that provides stunning panoramic views. Upon arriving in Puno, we will continue our Cuzco spiritual travel experience by heading to our hotel, preparing for the next chapter of this sacred earth journey.
DAY 2: UROS, TAKYLE- & AMANTANY AISLAND
After breakfast, we will embark on a boat to begin a sacred journey to the island of Uros, known as the "floating islands" because they are made of Totora cane by the local inhabitants. This unique experience allows us to connect with Andean culture and witness the deep traditions of the people who live in harmony with sacred earth journey practices.
Continuing our Cuzco spiritual travel, we take a boat to Amantani Island. Upon arrival, the local community will warmly welcome us, and we will stay in the home of a local family, embracing the essence of Andean spirituality tour hospitality. We will then visit a small local market where we can find artistic gifts and souvenirs such as hats, gloves, and vests, crafted with the traditions of the Andes.
For those who wish, there is an opportunity to swim in the sacred waters of the lake before we return to our host families' homes to spend the night. In the evening, we have the option to participate in a beautiful celebration with the families of the Takile community, an enriching experience filled with sacred energy and cultural exchange.
DAY 3: TAKYLE- PUNO
After breakfast, we will say goodbye to our host families, who welcomed us into their homes as part of this sacred journey. Then, we will head to the port and board our boat back to the city of Puno, arriving on land in the afternoon.
Now, we have the opportunity to explore the mystical city of Puno, known for its deep Andean culture and vibrant traditions. Here, we can browse local markets and purchase unique travel gifts before continuing our sacred earth journey.
For the night, we have two options: we can rest in a hotel in Puno or take the night bus to Cusco, continuing our Cuzco spiritual travel experience.
DAY 4: PUNO-CUSCO
After breakfast, we will take our vehicle and embark on the final stretch of our sacred journey back to the city of Cusco, traveling for approximately seven hours along an ancient route through the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes.
As we conclude this unforgettable Cuzco spiritual travel, we carry with us the memories, experiences, and deep connections made along this sacred earth journey.
