TOUR DESCRIPTION
DAY ONE
Uros – Taquile
Our tour starts by collecting you from your hotel. We then take a motor-boat to visit the famous Uros Floating Islands, northwest of Puno on Lake Titicaca. The Uros Islands are a group of 40 floating islands which provide a glimpse of one of the regions oldest cultures. The islands are man-made, woven from Totora reeds and the dense roots that these plants develop support the island. The islanders live in huts made from the same materials and travel from island to island in boats also made from the reeds. The local inhabitants make their living by fishing and trapping birds. They also make weavings, collages and musical instruments to sell to the visiting tourists. We then travel on to the island of Taquile. The island is located 35km west of Puno and surrounded by the vast ocean-like waters of Lake Titicaca. Taquile is inhabited by proud, Quechua-speaking natives who still wear traditional dress and have successfully maintained the lifestyle of their ancestors. There is a very strong sense of community on the island.
We have dinner and spend a night at a local family’s house.
DAY TWO
Taquile-Puno
The day after, we enjoy the fantastic sunrise on the island. After breakfast we return to Puno.
Our services end by leaving you at your hotel.
