8th Gate 2 Master Cylinder Registration Information
May 28 - June 7, 2009
Lake Titicaca, Peru - Bolivia

 


LAGO TITICACA

The mystical Lake Titicaca will be the location of our 8th Gate: Part Two Master Cylinder. Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake at the altitude of 12,628 ft (3827 meters). Located on the borders of Peru and Bolivia, Lago Titicaca is surrounded by indigenous villages of the Quechua and Aymara people. The air here is unusually clear and luminescent. The skies are vast, full of wondrous cloud formations and the horizon stretches beyond infinity.

Here at the top of the world, we will be spending ten nights at the beautiful Hotel Libertador in Puno, Peru. Our hotel is located on its own island and has astonishing views of the lake. Watching a sunrise or sunset on Titicaca is a mystical experience that takes you directly into the Ultra Greater Reality.

The Hotel Libertador has its own dock on the lake and many interesting areas to explore on its island. It also has a charming restaurant and patio where we will be having our meals. Free wireless internet will be available for those who bring their own laptops. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is deeply mystical and expansive. Most of the rooms are double rooms with two twin beds.

We will be just a short taxi ride from Puno, Peru which has a large artesania market by the docks. Here you will find an abundance of fantastic items to buy, including handwoven wool and alpaca ponchos, shawls, scarves, socks, hats and gloves, all at bargain prices. You can also buy small replicas of Titicaca's famous tortora reed boats and gorgeous weavings.

TRAVEL DETAILS

The easiest way to arrive at Puno, Peru is to fly into Lima, Peru. From there you can fly to Juliaca, Peru and take a taxi, minivan collectivo or bus to Puno which is 45 minutes from Puno.

Or you can take a train from Lima to Arequipa. From Arequipa you can take a bus to Puno which will be much cheaper, but will take more time.

Or, you could arrive early and visit Cuzco and Machu Picchu while adjusting to the altitude, then come by train from Cuzco to Puno.

LAN AIRLINES SOUTH AMERICA AIRPASS

The airlines Lan Chile and Lan Peru are owned by the same company. If you purchase your international ticket with Lan from either North America, Mexico or Europe, you are eligible to buy a South America Airpass on their website. (This is the link from their North American site.) A South America Airpass from Lan will give you huge discounts of 50 - 60 % on Internal flights within South America. This is very helpful if you are flying from Lima, Peru to Juliaca, Peru (the nearest airport to Puno) and back to Lima, or want to visit Cuzco or fly to La Paz, Bolivia, to many cities in Chile or to Rapa Nui. A minimum of three segments are necessary in order to purchase a South America Airpass.

You can also buy Lan's South America Airpass if you are traveling on the following airlines: American Airlines, British Air, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines JAL, Malév, Quantas, Royal Jordanian, South Africa Airways, Alitalia and Aeroméxico. However, the discount on your internal flights is less, more like 40%, but still worthwhile.

Lan's South America Airpass must be purchased at least 14 days before your first flight. It is a great savings!

TRANSFERS FROM JULIACA, PERU AIRPORT TO OUR PUNO HOTEL

We will be happy to organize a transfer for you from the Juliaca Airport to the Hotel Libertador. Prices will be determined by the number of people. (The more people traveling with you, the cheaper it becomes.) Please let us know if you require an airport transfer.

TRAVEL OPTIONS IN BOLIVIA

Crillon Tours, our wonderful Bolivian Tour Company, are offering us some fantastic pre or post-Activation packages in Bolivia.

Crillon can also arrange visits to the sacred islands of the Incas: Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna (Islands of the Sun and Moon). Plus, if you are staying at the Inca Utama Hotel, they have half day tours to the incredible ancient site of Tiwanaku that is not to be missed. Information on these optional tours are available after registration.

EARLY ARRIVALS & LATE DEPARTURES
