The 4 hour round trip will take you to the southern part of the island – the Pilkokaina Pre-Inca Sun Temple, the Inca Stairway and Fountain of Youth, and the southern port of Yumani. The journey time to/from the island itself is around 1h 20mins (weather dependent) so you enjoy at least an hour on the island itself. Our private boat will dock at the ancient sun temple Pilkokaina where you can hop off and walk the length of the southern coast to the southern port of Yumani, passing by some of the very best viewpoints of the island! Public boats arrive and depart from Yumani itself, which does not allow enough time to get up to these amazing photo spots!
Wish to see more of the island? If you have time, we thoroughly recommend to stay overnight and trek the length of the island for the best panoramic views of Titicaca.
