On this half day tour from Puno, you will be visiting the most photographed and the prominent man made Floating Islands of Uros that is made entirely of tatora reeds.

Even some of the islanders’ handcrafts are made from totora reeds, and the friendly people of this community offer their work to visitors as a souvenir of their visit to this magical place.

Amazing half day tour with Saul

Such a wonderful morning, exploring the Uros floating islands. He was warm, knowledgable, and gave great insight into how the islands are built and how the local community lives on the water. We got to visit a family, learn about their traditions, and even take a ride on one of the traditional reed boats. Saul made the whole expereince feel authentic and personal, not rushed at all. A must do when visiting Puno. Highly recommend.

Beautiful experience

It was a half day tour and it was well organized by the provider. I visited Uros islands, learned about culture and how they make floating islands using Totora reef and then we had a small additional ride (optional) at an additional cost of 20 soles on traditional puma reed boat and it was so beautiful. Local Aymara people does rely on tourism, textiles and boat tours for their livelihood.

Lake Titicaca

Stepping onto an island made entirely of totora reeds was a surprising and memorable experience. Seeing how families build, maintain, and live on these floating platforms made the visit feel authentic and deeply cultural. The calm lake, simple way of life, and openness of the local people created a quiet but powerful impression that stayed with me long after leaving.

Unforgettable Uros Island Experience

An absolutely gorgeous natural gem in South America, Lake Titicaca offers a truly unique experience, especially with a visit to the Uros Islands. Sitting at an altitude of around 3,800 meters above sea level, the lake is vast and breathtaking. While the islands are now well developed for tourism, they remain fascinating and culturally enriching. The experience is deeply educational, offering insights into the traditions and lifestyle of the local people. The food is a highlight especially the ceviche and the local Puteada tea is highly recommended. Prices for food and drinks are quite reasonable, making the visit even more enjoyable. It’s a wonderful destination and definitely not to be missed.

During our tour of Lake Titicaca, we visited both the famous floating islands and a natural island. The journey to the Uros Islands offered stunning scenery, with beautiful views stretching across the vast lake. It’s an enormous and serene place that nature lovers will truly appreciate.

Their kindness and politeness make the experience even more special, and taking home a few handmade souvenirs feels like a meaningful way to remember the visit.

Unique experience Must do when in Puno

It was a wonderful island experience, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to visit. Visitors are warmly welcomed, and detailed explanations are shared about how the islands are built and how the locals go about their daily lives. During the boat ride, a few young children sang a song, which made the journey even more memorable. The people are genuinely kind and polite, and it felt fair to take home some of their handmade souvenirs. I truly enjoyed the tea and bread offered there. Overall, it’s an amazing place to visit perfect for learning how people live and create homes on floating islands in today’s world.

A perfect half day tour with transport from hotel

Amazing tour to the floating islands with Abel! Everything was perfect, pickup was ontime and Abel the guide was friendly and informative. Yes, it was a bit touristy but guess this is the prime source of income for the island dwellers. The tour company was exceptionally nice, all entrance fees and transportation were arranged and i was contacted the night before with detailed pockup information.
