    The Yavari is a 19th-century ship commissioned by the Peruvian government to navigate Lake Titicaca. It has been refurbished over time as it has changed hands and métiers and now serves as a museum from its fairly permanent dock in Puno. The ship also offers limited accommodations.

    The boat is currently located in the PeruRail pier in Puno port. It can be difficult to find but there is pedestrian access through the nearby artisan market. A very nice lady gave us a tour of the boat which looks fantastic and is 90% restored to its original condition. There is no entrance fee but you are encouraged to leave a donation to contribute to the continuing restoration. I highly recommend a visit if you are in Puno, it is much more interesting and informative than the nearby Navy Museum.

    To visit the steamboat/gunboat Yavari was my best experience in Puno. The captain Maxmimus to the dinghi in and picked me up. Had an hour of guiding. Great story. A must.

    We weren’t sure what to expect but this was a really pleasant surprise. The security guard at the hotel was very helpful and helped us find the boat behind the hotel. The tour guide gave a quick but informative and interesting tour and was very friendly. Unique!

    Had an amazing tour with a former marine and current machinist of the Yavari who’s taking care of the old steely lady. plenty of interesting information and no lack of details. Hoping to see this beautiful ship getting to Cruze again commercially on the Titikaka lake.

    What an incredible and magical experience, we were so close to not going as it appeared on google as if this was closed. We arrived via the hotel grounds by the pier near the boat and after waiting on the pier for less than ten mins the engineer on the Yavari sailed out in a small boat to collect us. The story behind this boat is crazy … built in the 1800s and shipped all the way from London to Lake Titicaca, with more than 2000 individual pieces being hauled 190 miles over the Andes (and more than 15,000 ft elevation) to reach the shores of Lake Titicaca where it was assembled, finished on Christmas Day 1870. Originally a steam boat fuelled by Llama dung! Now has a petrol engine. I won’t say anymore other than what an incredible privilege to have set foot on this boat and had the honour of all the knowledge and passion from the engineer on board. Truly a hidden gem and will go down as one of the most special experiences I have had in all my travels.

    Yavari museum is not any longer there. The ship 'Yavari' is at the Navy base.

  • 5/5 Kwong V. 4 years ago on Google
    Passionate staff tried to explain almost everything about the ship. BTW the road signs are wrong. Yavari is at the end of the railway track at the pier. Do not go to the side of Puno University

  • 5/5 Peter R. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent! As a former Royal Naval officer I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm in equal measures (as I’m sure anyone visiting would be) The crew are passionate about their vessel ...and it’s an absolutely fascinating one Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Enrique L. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesante visita a esta embarcacion de inicios del S.XX traido en partes desde las costas del Pacifico en mulas. Lo mas interesante es que el ingeniero fue el sueco Bolinder. Aunque parece que ha sido trasladado y ya no esta afuera de el hotel Sonesta. Pues bien, sigue siendo un lugar interesante de conocer.

👍 Puno really have nothing but you can take a break in this lovely small town. If you have extra energy, you can climb up 600+ stairs to enjoy a great view. Really tired.
