FAQ's

Are the entrance fees included?

Yes. Transport, the guide and the entrance fees to every site on the route (Chucuito and Inca Uyo, Molloco, the Waru Waru fields and Aramu Muru) are all included. Lunch is not, so bring snacks or some cash in soles.

How long is the day?

Pickup is at 08:00 and you are back in Puno around 15:30. Most of the time is spent driving along the south shore of Lake Titicaca, with short walks at each stop: about 25 minutes at Inca Uyo, 20 at Molloco, 30 at the Waru Waru and 40 at Aramu Muru.

How much walking is involved?

Very little: short, easy walks at each site. The whole route is at around 3,800 to 3,900 m, so it suits a gentle day in Puno.

What is Aramu Muru?

A doorway-shaped niche carved into a single face of red rock more than 5 m high, also known as Hayu Marca. Local tradition treats it as a sacred and energetic place, and it is the last stop of the day.
