Itinerary
Your private guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Puno and take you to the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca. In the morning, we will visit the unique Uros Floating Islands. The islands have been built using nothing but totora reeds, a water plant that grows in the lake. You will be astonished to see and learn about how the locals use the totora reeds to build their canoes, houses, beds and many other objects, necessary in their daily lives. Your visit to Uros includes a very special experience, a pleasant trip around the islands riding on a totora reed canoe. Relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of Lake Titicaca when we continue on to Taquile Island via motor boat for 2 hours.
Once you arrive to Taquile Island, enjoy a locally prepared lunch of delicious and fresh Lake Titicaca trout. After lunch, you have the opportunity to take a short hike around the island before crossing the lake via boat heading back to Puno.
