PERU - LAKE TITICACA

The Sea on Top of the World

Throughout the journey we are surrounded by beauty, visiting islands rarely touched since Inka times. Lake Titicaca is the source and origin of the Inka, where the Sun and the Moon gave birth to the first Inka.

At Amantani, we stay in the homes of villagers, where we experience the purity and joy of their traditional lives.

You will visit the ancient towers of Sillustani, the burial ground of kings, queens, and shamans. You will explore the floating reed islands of the Uru people whose myth of origin points to Sirius, the Dog Star. Ceremonies at the Temple of Illapa, the Lightning God, and the Temple of Pachamama, the Mother Earth, will balance the polarities in our lives.
