Visit the Uros Islands and Taquile.
We begin our Uros & Taquile Islands tour at 7:45 a.m., picking you up from your hotel in Puno. From there, we head to the port to start a boat journey across the impressive Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world.
Our first stop is the Uros Floating Islands, built from totora reeds (a native aquatic plant of the lake). Here, you’ll enjoy a unique cultural experience, learning about their customs and way of life, and taking a traditional totora boat ride of approximately 30 minutes.
We then continue to Taquile Island, renowned for its living culture, handcrafted textiles, and ancestral traditions. On the island, you’ll interact with residents and enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant with lake views.
In the afternoon, we return by boat to the Port of Puno, located just 5 minutes from the Main Square (Plaza de Armas).
