Catamaran Cruise on the Titicaca Lake

Very early in the morning, we are picked up to go to the Titicaca Lake and begin our catamaran cruise. We’ll have lunch while navigating towards the Sun Island, (Isla del Sol), the cradle of the Inca Empire. In this legendary island, we are going to visit the “Garden”, the “Stairs” and the “Inca’s Source”. Furthermore, this tour includes a visit of the Inti Wata Cultural Complex, the main private tourist attraction in Bolivia that lodges the Ekako underground museum, the centers of traditional medicine and of construction of rafts in reed (totora), the Incas de Pachacamac agricultural terraces, an artisanal center, the Intica refuge and the greatest variety of Andean camelidos in the «Manco Cápac» mirador. The visit of the Inti Wata complex also includes the possibility to navigate in an immense typical raft made in reed and to make a panoramic visit to the Pilkokaina Inca Palace. We’ll return to the catamaran in order to go to Challapampa, a small isolated village in the north of the Sun Island where we’ll have the opportunity to appreciate an existential tourism. The citizens of Challapampa receive their visitors in their houses or school according to a recent innovator program. We’ll have the chance to visit a small museum and to navigate with typical boats towards the Chinkana Temple. Then, we’ll go to a place that people call the Sacred Rock where the Kallawaya (Andean fighter) used to make an ancestral ceremony where he burned “a white or a soft table”. This one was composed of many different sugar burned refineries offered to the Pachamama (Female Good of the Earth) asking the Andean Gods for the well being of the family, health, etc. By walking on the Inca ways, we’ll be returning to the catamaran. Romantic diner under the candle’s lights and a night in the catamaran, in cabins with external view and private bathroom.
