Cusco - Andahuaylillas - Racchi - Pukara Museum - Puno - Lake Titicaca Experience the 2-day Lake Titicaca Tour from Cusco with local experts. This all-inclusive tour package combines a full-day guided bus journey and Lake Titicaca boat tour. Travel aboard the most comfortable bus from Cusco to Lake Titicaca, visiting four remarkable sites along the way. This incredible adventure also shows the Uros and Taquile floating islands by motor boat from Puno.
The bus tour from Cusco to Lake Titicaca offers the best way to visit the historic sites on the way. Your journey from Cusco to Puno becomes more than a transfer—it’s an introduction to Peru’s vibrant history and landscapes. This dynamic excursion includes entrance tickets, meals, and exceptional bilingual guided tours at every attraction you visit. Additionally, enjoy private car transfers and an overnight stay in Puno.
Our Lake Titicaca Trip takes by motorboat across the tranquil waters to the legendary Uros floating islands. Experience how locals build their homes, boats, and even furniture entirely from totora reeds. As you walk these spongy islands and meet Aymara-speaking locals, you’ll gain insight into centuries-old customs—and perhaps exchange a few words in their native tongue. It’s a vivid, living culture few travelers ever get to witness firsthand.
The Titicaca Tour continues to Taquile Island, a peaceful Quechuan enclave set two hours from Uros. Discover farming terraces, ancient stone paths, and weaving traditions passed down through generations. The island’s summit offers one of the most breathtaking 360° views of Titicaca Lake—a perfect ending to a journey that connects the past and present.

Planning a trip to Mach Pichu can be challenging, and I only realized it when I finally decided to travel. Corayma was such an amazing person and established a line of communication with me via WhatsApp. I had tons and tons of concerns and queries and she always responded and supported me as patiently as possible. Ultimately we traveled and set off for our trip. Our guide was David, who was an amazing gentleman and took great care of us throughout the tour starting from Cusco and returning. I just can’t stop raving about this company and the team who made my dream come true.

We had an incredible experience with Mapi Tour, who arranged a fantastic week-long adventure for my husband and me—from the Amazon to Cusco and Machu Picchu. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and all our accommodations were excellent. Since this was a special occasion trip, Mapi ensured the hotels were aware, and each one added a thoughtful touch to make our stay even more memorable.
The absolute highlight of our journey was our guide, Karen, who accompanied us from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Her passion for her country and heritage shined through in every moment. She was knowledgeable, kind, and went out of her way to take special care of us.
We loved that we were booking with a local Cusco-based company, and our itinerary truly reflected that. From boating down the Amazon and walking across treetop footbridges among the monkeys to exploring Cusco and nearby mountain towns for an authentic glimpse into local life and culture, every experience was unforgettable. Taking the Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu was an absolute blast and a perfect way to round out our trip.
We highly recommend Mapi Tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, immersive, and truly special experience in Peru!
Awesome Tour Package for Machu Picchu!
This was our first time to Machu Picchu and I was nervous about all of the logistics. We were traveling with a family of 11 with two small children. I booked a hotel in Cusco. I contacted Mapi tours a while back and they offered a great itinerary at a reasonable price. I’m so glad I went with them. They took care of everything from booking the train, to booking the shuttle bus, to booking the admission tickets to Machu Picchu. They were quick to respond via WhatsApp.
David was our guide and picked us up in a private shuttle early morning at around 5 AM. The drive to the train station was a rough 2 Hour Dr. One of our passengers got altitude sickness, and they had solution and remedies to help. David was very knowledgeable. And guide us through the crazy train station traffic. We were there right in time for the train. He even advised us on the bathroom situation (which was helpful). He was with us the whole day. They even included another guy to join us at Machu Picchu since we had small Children. It was helpful because 3/4 of the way through, the little children’s decided to go back so the second tour guide walk them back.
They even made a recommendation and negotiated a great price for lunch buffet at Aqua Caliente. They recommended circuit two for the tour, which was perfect. They booked the tickets well in advance so we got a great entry time at 10 AM. We completed the circuit with plenty of pictures in three hours. We went straight to the lunch buffet and it was fantastic.
We made the train back and arrive back at our hotel at approximately 8:40 PM. All in all, it was a fantastic day for us. David and Liz made the tour wonderful. I would highly recommend going with Mapi Tours. You don’t have to worry about anything.
