A great experience with approx. 14 persons to discover the Uros islands and Taquile. Good guide, captain and driver. Everything went smooth from pick up to drop off. Would recommend this tour if you want to explore the Titicaca lake.
Efraim is an exquisite person Truly a great guide Perfect and understandable English, especially because in my group there were people who only understood Spanish, so he would first explain in Spanish and then repeat in English in order to make the experience understandable to everyone. Thank you Maestro!!
