    Bad experience half tour only

    This was not an organized tour just someone taking you from the hotel, pick up a taxi in the street for you ( paid by you), getting to the cable car ( paid by you), getting out on a busy road and supposed to walik for 30 min on the side of a road full of traffic ( otherwise getting a taxi paid by you) getting in a shared mini van used by local people small and crowded, getting out on the main road, walking from the main road to the museum ( paid by you) . And getting back to your hotel in the same way. Nio Titicaca lake or boat trip. Overall a not enjoyable experiece

    Response from the operator: Very well, ma'am, first of all, you need to learn to read. In our explanation, the concept of "experiential" is clearly stated. This means discovering and getting to know another country as it should be known, living like any other Bolivian. It is clearly described there what is and isn't included. You should also remember that we wrote to you (48 hours in advance) pointing out AGAIN what this service included and didn't include (YOU AGREED TO EVERYTHING). People like you who don't visit places, who don't travel just to criticize, shouldn't travel. People like you who, after using the service, write to badmouth a company are despicable. We gave you what we promised, and yet you still make unpleasant reviews, just like you.

    Very long fun day

    It was a long day but it was very fun to chase the public transportations. The Sun island and Lake Titicaca were beautiful.

    Exhausting and not enjoyable

    Our guide’s English was pretty bad. We hardly understood anything about lake, history, etc… But worst part - when we booked - it said we are going to have some public transportation. Well. Everything was public transportation. 9 hours total on the public bus with stops and very crowded with locals carrying their home stuff… Even boat ride was public. Very confusing, exhausting trip. Did not enjoyed at all. End up been 16 hours of torcher…

    Response from the operator: Our guides are Bolivian, speaking a foreign language, they cannot speak like a person born in an English-speaking country, our guides learn to try to improve, compared to certain people who don't even care to learn and only criticize those who do, ,, 2.- It is good that people read carefully the services we offer, nowhere does it say "something" about public transport, you should have asked for more information about the service, through VIATOR. Or the same day that we contacted him, and we asked him if he had any questions,,,,,, Once informed, he could cancel the Service without any problem, or perform a PRIVATE service….. 3.- We write to all our passengers days before, informed about the service, and this is an EXPERIENCE service…. We share with the people of our country... we offer an original experience, how we live, how we transport ourselves, how we eat, and all the activities we do every day, that's what we show, it's a shame that certain types of people ,,,, do not want to enjoy the experience of knowing another country and only dedicate yourself to criticizing…..

    Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $104 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 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 La Paz is not rushed.

    Is Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture )?

    +

    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 Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture )?

    +

    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 La Paz 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 La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) 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 La Paz 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 La Paz?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. 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 La Paz?

    +

    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 La Paz?

    +

    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 Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture )?

    +

    Included: Bilingual Tour Guide ( Don´t forguet your Tour Guide TIP); Private and Turistic Boat (Paseo en Balsas Tipicas del Titicaca ); and Shared TRANSPORT ( Publico y Compartido). Not included: TIPS ( Don´t foget the Tour Guide tip); ADMITION TIKETS ( Tiwanaku - Puma Punku ); Meals; and Propinas ( tips). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) offered in?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture )?

    +

    What happens to Puma Punku - Tiwanaku - Titikaka Lake ( The Alien Culture ) if the weather is bad?
