Enjoyable

Enjoyable tour. Not much information at the start about which boat we were on but the guide was good and spoke in Spanish and English. Note that the “optional “ traditional boat ride is not really optional so be prepared to pay 15 soles per person. Also a bit of pressure to buy items on the island but prices were reasonable.

Artificial for tourist use

There is nothing traditional about it. Everything is built for tourists: all the islands have identical plastic and metal corners for photos/selfies. The visit is centered on the sale of souvenirs and additional tickets that should have been included. We visited the Uros more than years ago... it was a completely different thing. The landscape is splendid, the people are courteous... but the rest is truly sad.

Utos Island - a unique cultural experience

Very unique and interesting experience. The UROS people are very nice, creative and have a lot of ingenuity. In their effort to continue their centuries-old traditions, they allow us into their culture and show us what life is like for them.

Operator response

Dear Ana, Thank you very much for your kind review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you found your visit to the Uros Floating Islands unique and interesting. The Uros people have preserved their traditions and way of life for generations, and it is truly special to be able to learn directly from them and experience their culture firsthand. Your appreciation of their creativity, ingenuity, and hospitality means a great deal to the local families who warmly welcome visitors to their islands. Thank you for choosing Puno Tours. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Lake Titicaca for more memorable experiences in the future. Kind regards, Wilson Ticona

Not good

The tour ended é well before the accorded. We were told that we're going to visit two islands.. But we only visited one and the second was a messy place for us to eat and drink. Something we all were not interested in

Operator response

Dear Isabel, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to know that the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify some points for future travelers. Our 3-hour Uros Floating Islands tour normally includes the visit to two different floating islands, as described in our website and tour information. The first one is usually a family island, where our guide and the local residents explain the history, lifestyle, traditions and culture of the Uros people. The second stop is generally a main/commercial island, where visitors have the option to buy hot or cold drinks, snacks or simply enjoy another area of the floating islands. This second island is included because, on the first family island, there are usually no facilities to purchase drinks or snacks. Many travelers appreciate this possibility, especially before returning to Puno. However, we understand that every traveler has different expectations, and we are truly sorry that this second stop was not enjoyable for you personally. Regarding the tour duration, the return time is always approximate. Depending on weather conditions, lake conditions, number of visitors and the departure time, the tour may finish slightly earlier or later. For the afternoon tour, especially during this season, we sometimes return a little earlier because it gets dark earlier than in other months. Even so, the complete program is planned with the visit to both islands. At Puno Tours, we take all feedback seriously. Your comment helps us improve how we explain the purpose of each stop, so passengers can better understand the difference between the cultural family island and the main island with basic services. Thank you again for choosing us. We remain committed to offering responsible, authentic and well-organized experiences on Lake Titicaca. Kind regards, Wilson Ticona

Must-see in Puno

Very nice to experience this. Unfortunately we had little time in Puno, but still wanted to see the floating islands of the Uros. The organization ran smoothly, the guide was friendly and informed well. Obviously the Uros would love to sell you something, but we were fine with that because we're happy to help them.

Operator response

Beste reiziger, Hartelijk dank voor uw vriendelijke recensie en dat u voor Puno Tours hebt gekozen. We zijn blij te horen dat u, ondanks uw beperkte tijd in Puno, de drijvende eilanden van de Uros hebt kunnen bezoeken en van deze unieke culturele ervaring hebt kunnen genieten. Het is fantastisch om te weten dat de organisatie van de tour soepel verliep en dat onze gids vriendelijke en informatieve service heeft verleend. We waarderen ook uw begrip voor en steun aan de lokale Uros-families. De handgemaakte producten die zij aanbieden, dragen bij aan het behoud van hun gemeenschappen en hun traditionele manier van leven aan het Titicacameer. Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor het delen van uw ervaring. We hopen u in de toekomst weer in Puno te mogen verwelkomen en u de gelegenheid te bieden om nog meer van de schoonheid en cultuur van onze regio te ontdekken. Kind regards, Wilson Ticona
