Itinerary 

DAY 1: FLOATING UROS AND TAQUILE ISLANDS

This tour starts at 7:00 a.m. with transfer from your hotel to the port. Then, in a fast motor boat (7:30 a.m.), this will make this a pleasant trip (35 feet long with a covered section in case of rain or cold weather, comfortable bus seats and fully equipped, toilet). The floating UROS islands are located within the bay of Lake Titicaca only 14 km away. (20 minutes of navigation). The towns of the Uros were simple fishermen and hunters of birds and preferred to remain isolated of the most advanced civilizations. Your search for isolation may be one of the reasons why you decided to live in mobile homes on the lake. When the Spanish chroniclers encountered the Uros at the end of the 16th century, the people of UROS still lived in the lake in small boats of reeds that they used as floating houses. Only in the early 1960s, the Uros began to build small artificial islands with reeds for their homes. We visit the Uros Islands. Stamping them looks a lot like a water bed (but it’s pretty safe). We see the houses, the islands and we know their friendly inhabitants. The people of Uros are descendants of one of the oldest South American groups. Traditional boat rides with local fishermen can be organized. Visit two of the 30 islands, then share an intercultural activity with the locals, see their houses and learn about the construction of the floating cane islands. Then in Amantani we will have family house accommodation with the chance to share living expediency with local people.

DAY 2: VISIT TAQUILA AISLAND

Then continue to the island of Taquile. TAQUILE: We received an hour and a half from the island of Taquile while we received lectures on the origins of the Inca culture, Quechua language lessons and more. Upon arrival, we will have the possibility to enjoy the spectacular views offered by Lake Titicaca, reach this unique place, by the southern part of the island (09.45 a.m.), the least visited area of the Island of Taquile. Have at least 4 hours to explore this paradise, enjoy a pristine sandy beach. And walk for 1 hour on a pre-Inca trail (gentle and gradual walk) with breathtaking landscapes, while learning about the flora and fauna of the island then lunch at local restaurant. The members of the community will show us their dances, textiles and unique cultural expressions. The island of Taquile is the home of an authentic community that preserves the Inca laws and the social system. But due to inadequate management of tourism is affected and this trip helps to encourage the life of the community. Later, at approximately 1.50 pm. We will walk towards the main port. At 2.30 p.m. We will leave to return to Puno, we will arrive at 4:00 p.m. and then we will move to the hotel.
