The main problem with the Lake...
<p>The main problem with the Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno derived from the lack of information the local operator gave us before setting off for the tour.</p> <p>Apparently some social unrest between the island communities had the northern part of sun island not viable for tourists. Too bad we werent told about this problem but on the bus driving us to Copacabana. As to the news, the strike has been on for several days before our visit and the local operator had to contact us to let us decide if an alternative plan could have been acceptable. </p> <p>I even contacted the local operator through Viators website on the 9th of April for some info on the time we would be back in Puno on the 18th and I got the answer on the 11th just to point out the fact that they where well aware we were ready fo the trip.</p> <p>On the 17th morning we got picked up at our Hotel in Puno but after a few kilometres on our way , talking with the other guests, it was evident that they had made us join a different tour with a different plan:<br/> As we crossed the bolivian border we had a quick visit at Copacabanas main church and then we boarded the Catamaran where we had a snack.<br/> After 30 minutes we landed on Sun Island and joined a 20 minute ride on a local boat, then we where taken to the Inti-Wata complex and its pre-incan garden terraces which was part of the original plan for 2 hours.<br/> We boarded the Catamaran again had lunch on board while cruising to Tiquina for almost 2 hours.<br/> Unlike the other tourist that were headed to La Paz we landed at Tiquina just to be driven back to Copacabana with a new guide and driver<br/> The local operator booked a Junior Suite in the Hotel Rosario del Lago very nice but unnecessary where we had dinner.<br/> The day after there were no options but go and visit a small, neglected and uninteresting village called Sampayo by car 2 hours and a half drive for a 20 minute visit, head back to the Hotel where we had lunch exactly the same 3 dish choice we had the night before and started the transfer back to Puno. We got to Puno a 4 p.m sharp. End of the tour.</p> <p>I must say all the local guides were very nice to us and tried everything they could to give us the best service possible.</p> <p>We understand the problems raised with the local strike and we appreciated the efforts made from the local operator to fix the problem but we feel we wasted a full day the second in a meaningless and unpleasant place and , more importantly, we should have been warned about the problem at least 24 hours before the tour started.</p>

Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno cost?
+
Prices start at $409 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.
Is Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lake Titicaca and Sun Island Overnight Catamaran Cruise from Puno start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puno?
+
On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat, Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puno?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puno?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
