Islands of Uros & Taquile full day

Uros Floating Islands & Taquile Island Tour: Enjoy a full day on Lake Titicaca, visiting its most famous islands within Peruvian territory. These islands serve as windows into the lake's rich history and vibrant culture. During this excursion, you will explore Taquile Island and witness how the local inhabitants preserve their traditional attire and ancestral way of life. We will also visit the Uros Floating Islands, where we will learn how these man-made islands are constructed, how they are maintained, and how often this process must be repeated.

There are approximately 20 of these artificial islands, each inhabited by an Aymara-speaking family with 5-10 members, who construct and maintain their island and houses with totora reeds. Our guide will explain the history and traditions of the Uros during approximately an hour.

We’ll visit the town, its artisanal center and museum and we’ll have lunch at a local house where we'll learn about their daily life. Then, we’ll finish our visit descending through the opposite side of the island by lots of stone steps that will takes us to where our boat will be waiting to take us back to Puno (about 5:00pm), where you’ll be dropped back off at your hotel.
