Description

Start your day with an exciting visit to the iconic Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. We will pick you up early at your hotel and head to the port of Puno, where we will board a motorized boat that will take us to the floating islands of the Uros.

Itinerary

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by friendly local families who will welcome you to their islands made of totora, an aquatic plant that grows in the lake. During your visit, you will learn about the ancient island-building techniques and the daily life of the Uros. They will explain how they build their homes, boats, and other artifacts using totora.

You will have the opportunity to interact with the inhabitants, learn about their culture and traditions, and enjoy a ride on a traditional totora raft (optional). In addition, you will be able to purchase local crafts as a souvenir of this unique experience.

After exploring the islands, we will return to Puno, where we will drop you off at your hotel, completing an enriching morning on Lake Titicaca.
