They are an optional part of the regular tours, you can do them just if you want and can.

We had one main guide (Franco) and one guide that led the Lake Titicaca part of the tour. We gave the lake guide $50 and Franco $100 USD. We also tipped our driver $50. Use your judgment. All of our guides and drivers were amazing and deserved a generous tip. I gave what we could afford.

This was a SUPER tour. Kaypi was incredible. Hotels beautiful.

The Rainbow Mountain hike was my favorite part of the trip. We hiked to 17,000 ft!! It was crazy!! Probably one of the coolest things I've ever done. I highly recommend it!

We didn't get our itinerary and flight arrangements until about a month or so before the trip. We loved our trip! Kaypi tours and our guide Elias was fantastic. I hope you have a great time on your trip and don't worry, they are very efficient.

The bus dropped us off near the gate, not a very far walk. But, there is quite a bit of walking once you get inside with lots of stairs. My 79 year old hsb has a knee problem but he did well with 2 walking sticks. I hope you get a chance to go, it is truly a magical place.

We did the 10 day and it was awesome!

I'm 68 and my hsb is 79. It was a little challenging, but really doable. My hsb used walking sticks to help with all the stairs and did well.

The Titicaca lake is one of our destinations not just because is the biggest lake in south america or because is the highest navigable in the world, we choose this destinations for 3 reasons more: The Uros: pre-inca civilization tha live on totora reeds, the are still making all their life into the lake, they get teir food, materials to built thir houses, boats and everything from the lake Amantani island, it is a natural island and we choose to spend the night here because the people who live here is the most kindest and because we know our traveler are looking for something else that just visit attractions. Taquile Island: they are consider as the best weavers of Peru, and just have this tittle is a lot. it is true that the lake is having problems but is not totally polluted as many people think, actually our govermment is working on protect, preserve and maintanin this incredible place, come and visit the lake, don't be afraid, I totally reccomend you.
