Colca to Puno Tourist Transfer with Bilingual Guide
From €40 per person
See availability →A Colca to Puno tourist transfer with a bilingual guide and four stops along the road, for volcanoes, camelids, herbal drinks and flamingos.
A tourist transfer from Colca to Puno comes with a bilingual guide, in English and Spanish, who explains the route as the bus moves from the canyon towards the Altiplano. The journey takes around six hours and the stops make it feel shorter.
First comes the Mirador de los Andes, a lookout over the Ampato, Sabancaya, Hualca Hualca and Mismi volcanoes, the last one being where the Amazon River begins, with the Chila range behind them. You can also see the apachetas, small stone towers that travellers once left as offerings to their gods. At Tocrapampa, llamas and alpacas graze, and vicuñas may appear for those with luck. Patahuasi, in Pampa Cañahuas inside the Aguada Blanca National Reserve, offers hot drinks of chachacoma and muña, plus crafts and souvenirs. The last pause is at Lagunillas, where small lakes reflect the sky and Andean flamingos can be seen depending on the season.
