Itinerary
Day 1
We’ll begin our Uros and Taquile Islands tour from Puno with pickup from your hotel and a transfer to the Lake Titicaca port. There, we’ll board a tourist boat and set off across the calm waters of this extraordinary Andean lake.
Our first stop will be the Uros Floating Islands, built from layers of totora reeds. We’ll spend time with local families, who will show us how they build and maintain their islands, homes, and boats, while sharing traditions passed down through generations. You can also opt for a ride on a traditional totora reed boat.
We’ll then continue to Taquile Island, one of the main highlights of Lake Titicaca. You’ll walk along stone pathways, pass ancient agricultural terraces, and enjoy spectacular panoramic views from scenic viewpoints. You’ll also meet a Quechua community that preserves its traditions, communal way of life, and renowned handwoven textiles, considered one of Peru’s most important cultural expressions.
As part of the experience, we’ll enjoy a traditional lunch prepared by local families, featuring regional ingredients such as fresh Lake Titicaca trout, quinoa, native potatoes, and other Andean products that reflect the rich cuisine of the highlands.
Finally, we’ll return by boat to the city of Puno.
