I loved how immersive this trip felt from start to finish. The historical visit to Andahuaylillas was fascinating, and Raqchi’s Inca ruins were far more impressive than expected. Cruising on Lake Titicaca was calm and scenic. Taquile Island’s traditional lifestyle and panoramic lake views made the journey unforgettable.
