... the $21 airfares we got from Arequipa – Lake Titicaca were amazing…….cheaper than the 6 hour bus ride we managed to avoid.

So Saturday saw us take the 25 minute, 9am StarPeru flight over the Andes to Titicaca. We got a taxi with two English and Scottish lads who we had met in Arequipa, Ollie and Gooch. These blokes were wild and certainly kept us entertained for the one hour trip from Juliacca to Puno. We got dropped off at our hostel only ...
