Puma Punku
If you are into seeing the ancients sights from the Peru side this is for you. Tiwanaku, Aramu Muru Puma Punku are all sights on my bucket list .After watching many shows going to these sights was more than I can imagine. The tour was on time and the guides as well as the drivers were very welcoming and accomodating .This means opening doors ,bathroom breaks when needed and always ask if the climate control was good in the cabin. We had to cross the border on both sides the guides stayed with us and made sure we were okay. The number one thing was safety for us .The team that brought us through the whole process made sure we were safe and were always watching out. Are day was amazing and we recommend Inca lake tour to others

Excellent tour operator!
Everything perfect, very kind drivers, Guide really prepared. The choice of times allowed us to visit Tiahuanaco, Puma Punku and the other sites practically alone. the Tiahuanaco site is absolutely worth it! The driver helped us in all the paperwork to pass through Bolivia.

DO NOT USE INKA LAKE TOUR COMPANY
Hugo Molina and this company mislead us at the Bolivian/Peruvian Border and caused huge immigration issues. Our guide was their marketing persona and had no idea what to do at that border, we relied on them and they let us down tremendously. They have not offered to compensate us for our outrageous bills caused by their mistake and now I have to take legal action to recoup my monies. Take another company, DO NOT USE INKA LAKE, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.
Response from the operator: I would like to clarify that, as a tour operator, we do not have control or responsibility over travelers' immigration procedures. We have informed you where the Peruvian and Bolivian immigration offices are located so that you can complete your respective procedures. On the other hand, we understand the difficult times you have faced, and from the very beginning, we have provided all the assistance within our possibilities: including useful information about your issue, translation of the requested documents, and even a guide to help you present your explanations to immigration authorities. Moreover, despite already incurring the respective service costs, we offered you the amount of the service to support you in some way. We did this not out of responsibility, but out of empathy and you rejected it. Unfortunately, there is nothing more that we can do from our side for you. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Best regards

Bolivia day trip to Tiwanaka from Puno Peru.
We loved Tiwanaka. The tour guide on the Bolivian side: Carlos was super knowledgeable and very friendly. Would recommend the trip, includes archeological site and excellent museum. Our Puno Peru based guide was also very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a three hour drive each way but he broke up the journey with short stops and sites of archeological interest. Thoroughly enjoyed the day trip.

Was an nice Adventure! Thank you for everything!
It was a dream since i was a kid to see Puma Punku, Tiwanaku and Aramu Muru. It was magical to see it in Reallife. Hugo and Carlos and the whole Team take a good care about us, with good lunch. And breakfastpaket. It was a nice experience to be at Aramu Muru at the Sunrise and feel the energy of the Place. Bolivia was also an nice experience, it was really nice! Highly recommended for all the fans of Erich v. Däniken or Ancient Aliens 😎👍🏻

Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku cost?
+
Prices start at $239 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 Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 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 Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku?
+
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 Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku?
+
Around 3 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku 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 Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. 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.
What is included in Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku?

Not included: Drinks; Entrances tickets to Tiahuanaco (100 Bolivianos or $17USD per person); and Visa paperwork (you must obtain visa prior this trip). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour from Puno to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku include hotel pickup?
+
