Description

Join our experience and explore one of the world's great natural wonders on an unforgettable 6-day trip from Cusco to San Pedro de Atacama. Travel the Route of the Sun during the day from Cusco, arrive in Puno by 5:00 pm to spend the night, and the next day enjoy a full-day visit to the highest lake in the world, Lake Titicaca. Spend the second night in Puno. On the third day, at 6:00 am, we'll head to La Paz for a city sightseeing tour. In the afternoon, we'll take a tour of the Witches' Market and ride the cable cars for breathtaking views of the city. From Cusco to San Pedro, we will gradually gain altitude and acclimatize; for example, the city of Cusco is at an altitude of 3,399 meters (11,152 feet), Puno at 3,827 meters (12,557.77 feet), La Paz el Alto at 4,079 meters, and the Salar de Uyuni ranges between 3,665 and 5,000 meters. Throughout the trip, we'll only spend one night on a bus. It's important to get a good night's sleep so that we can make the most of the experiences during the day. For the vast majority of travelers, the trip from La Paz to Uyuni is pleasant and comfortable, and you can sleep well at night, since the bus has bed-style seats, heating, and a bathroom.
