Where is Luquina Chico?

Option 1: Private transport from Puno

A private transfer is a convenient option if you want to travel directly from your hotel in Puno to your accommodation in Luquina.

Depending on the arrangement, a private vehicle may collect you from your hotel or another agreed meeting point.

This option may be especially convenient if you are traveling with luggage, as a couple or family, or as part of a multi-day experience.

What to ask before confirming

• The exact pickup location and time.
• The drop-off point in Luquina.
• Whether the quoted price covers one way or a return journey.
• Whether sightseeing stops are included.
• The payment method and total cost.

Confirm all arrangements before departure.

Option 2: Public or shared transport
