Tour Lake Titicaca - Uros, Amantani & Taquile

DAY 1

In the early morning, we will collect you from your hotel in the city of Puno to embark on an excursion to the port lake. Here, we'll board a regular boat to kick off our journey by visiting the Uros Floating Islands. These stunning islands are handcrafted by locals using totora reed, with approximately 80 islands in total made from this material.

The Uros Islands are constructed by intricately weaving the totora reed. The inhabitants also build their homes from this material and cook outdoors to prevent fires. You'll get the chance to meet the welcoming Uros people and learn about their customs and way of life.

The Titicaca tour continues with a boat trip to Amantani Island, navigating the vast Lake Titicaca, which is recognized as the world's highest navigable lake at an elevation of 3,812 meters above sea level. It is also the second-largest lake in South America.

Upon our arrival, the hospitable community will greet us warmly. This mystical island is home to 800 families and features significant ceremonial centers where shamans predict the future using coca leaves. We'll enjoy a lunch with the locals to further immerse ourselves in their lifestyle.

Later, we will ascend to Pacha Tata (4,100 meters above sea level), which houses the most vital mystical ceremonial center on Lake Titicaca, to witness a breathtaking sunset.

Relish a delightful dinner with the local community, and if you wish, you can join them in traditional activities.

You will spend the night in a comfortable family house.

DAY 2

Following a traditional Andean breakfast, we will set sail to visit Taquile Island, located 28 miles from Amantaní Island. Taquile sits at an elevation of 3,950 meters above sea level, with its highest point reaching 4,050 meters.

On this island, you'll be treated to stunning views of the lake and landscapes framed by the Andes mountains under a brilliant blue sky. Here, you'll admire remarkable flora such as the Cantuta flower and the medicinal Muña plant, known for its healing properties and commonly used in infusions. The fauna includes farm animals like cows, rams, and chickens.

We will enjoy a vibrant performance by the local community featuring dances, music, and a photo session in traditional attire while you savor lunch.

Taquile Island is renowned for its skilled artisans. The textile art is truly remarkable, utilizing ancient and organic techniques, including natural vegetable dyes.

As our journey concludes, we will board the boat back to the port lake of the city of Puno and ensure your safe return to your hotel.
