Recommendations for visiting Lake Titicaca?

Although Puno offers many facilities, it is best to be well prepared for your adventure on Lake Titicaca. Here is a simple checklist of what you should bring:

Sunscreen: Despite the cold, the sun is intense at this altitude.
Hat and sunglasses: The sun can be surprisingly strong at this altitude.
Comfortable shoes: Sturdy, comfortable shoes are essential.
Warm clothing: Temperatures can drop significantly at night, especially in the dry season.
Basic medicines: It's possible to get a bit dizzy on those winding mountain roads. Take paracetamol to help with headaches; you might get one from the altitude.
Water bottle with filter: It is vital to stay hydrated, but make sure the water is safe to drink.
Small backpack: A comfortable backpack is a must for carrying everything you need when embarking on a day trip on Lake Titicaca.

What is the weather like in Lake Titicaca?

The dry season in Lake Titicaca runs from April to November and is characterised by mostly sunny and clear skies. During this period, temperatures hover around 16°C (60°F) during the day and can drop to -5°C (22°F) at night.

The rainy season lasts from December to March. At this time of year there is considerable cloud cover that accumulates throughout the year, commonly resulting in short, heavy downpours in the afternoon. Temperatures at this time of year average highs of 17°C (62°F) and lows of 3.5°C (38°F).

How to get to Lake Titicaca by bus?

The bus trip from Cuzco to Puno takes between six and seven hours. The recommended public buses leave in the morning and in the evening. Costs may vary depending on the company and the type of seat you prefer.

However, Inka Express is the best option. We travel in an exclusive panoramic bus, making stops along the route and visiting ancient Inca sites accompanied by a professional guide.

When is the best time to visit Lake Titicaca?

Due to the dry climate, June, July and August are the most popular months to visit Lake Titicaca. In this season, demand is high, which can raise prices for accommodation and other services compared to the rainy season.

On the other hand, the intermediate season runs from April to May and from September to November. It is a recommended season to visit, as there are fewer tourists, the weather is pleasant and the environment is still green.
