Route by Route Information

Follow the different ‘Hopstages’ of our route to see the different highlights at each of our destinations.

HOPSTAGE 1: Cusco to Puno

Puno is our first stop after departing from Cusco, the enthralling city famously known as the gateway to Machu Picchu. It is only a few hours away and is right by the highest lake in the world – Lake Titicaca, a must-visit for anyone in Peru.

The Culture Route

Upon arrival in Puno, we’ll enjoy a delicious yet cheap Peruvian breakfast. Afterward, for those that wish, we recommend the early morning boat ride out to the famous floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca (optional extra tour).

Top Things to Do in Puno

homestay icon Night Stay on Isla Amantani at a local homestay. For more info. just ask your guide.
ruins icon Visit the captivating Sillustani burial towers.
rafting icon Kayak on the highest navigable lake in the world.

Peru Hop Departure Details

Departures: EVERY DAY
Departures From: Peru Hop Private terminal just 10/15 minutes from hotels (address will be provided on booking confirmation).
Departure Time: 22:00pm
Arrival Time: 06:00am (next day)

Recommended Nights in Puno:
We recommend staying 1 night in Puno. Puno is a small place with not much to do apart from visiting the Uros floating islands, Isla Taquile, and Isla Amantani on Lake Titicaca. Overnight stays on Isla Amantani are possible for those who want to explore more of the islands. We can help you book your accommodation.
 
Drop-off: Any hostel/hotel in central Puno (within 1km of Plaza de Armas).

HOPSTAGE 2: Puno to Copacabana

The next part of our journey takes you from Puno to Copacabana. Both popular for being by Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world, yet both in different countries.

The Cultural Route

This scenic part of the route is arguably one of the most beautiful. It is also the only part of our journey where you’ll cross from one country to another! For the Peru/Bolivia border crossing, our guides will assist you with the necessary paperwork and immigration processes for crossing. Check with our office before departure for nationalities that may require additional VISA requirements. Please have your passport and immigration slips in order. Overstay fines should be paid before leaving.

40894-top-games-starTop Thing to Do in Copacabana
Isla Del Sol (Island of the Sun) – According to Inca legend this small island in the middle of Lake Titicaca was home to their most revered god, Inti, and was the mythical birthplace of the first Inca ancestors. A 4 hour round trip in our private boat takes you out to see the ancestral terracing and ruins of the southern part of the island as well as the existing island communities (includes a 1 hour walk from the original sun temple to the small island town of Yumani). Includes island entrance fee.

Peru Hop Departure Details

Departures: DAILY

Departure Time: 08:30am
Arrival Time: 13:30pm

Recommended Nights in Copacabana:
We recommend staying 1 night in Copacabana. There’s not too much to do here but one night is optimal for any tours or activities you might be interested in doing around Lake Titicaca. We can help you book your accommodation.

Drop-off: Copacabana is a small village. Central drop-off/pick-up point used in Copacabana due to its small size and limited access. Meeting point is the White Anchor by the port, within a few minutes walk of all major hotels/hostels.
