Day 1 Boat to the islands of Anapia on Lake Titicaca
We depart from Puno early in the morning. We make a quick stop along the way at Chuicuito, which has a great site called the "Temple of Fertility." After visiting we drive along Lake Titicaca on a road with gorgeous scenery (2 hours drive away). At Punta Hermosa, we board a boat belonging to the community Anapia. It takes more than an hour by boat from the shores of Lake Titicaca to reach the archipelago Anapia. On our arrival on the main island, we settle into our respective family houses.
