Overview
You will learn about one of the cultures considered to be the “pre-solar” culture or “survivors of a previous or primordial humanity”…
The origin of the Uros dates back to pre-INCA times, where they were the oldest population of the Collao plateau and would have settled in this territory around the year 1200 BC.
The island of Taquile was part of the Inca Empire, and some archaeological remains can be seen. This island was one of the last Inca sites that capitulated to the Spanish in the 16th century.
Mother Earth (Pachamama), the main Andean deity, determines the abundance of the harvest and fertility, and to whom they offer a series of payments (offering) per year and three coca leaves before each activity or trip. God is present throughout the year at the festivities.
There are several natural viewpoints that allow you to take spectacular photos of the island and Lake Titicaca.

Taquile Island
It is worth noting that Taquile Island was declared a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO, thanks to the extraordinary work of its inhabitants in textile art, where they express their experience, their customs and their culture, and they also maintain their Inca customs: the principles of Ama Sua (Do not be a thief), Ama Llulla (Do not be a liar) and Ama Quella (Do not be lazy), from children to grandparents, they make these fine fabrics that resemble the textiles of the Paracas and Incas.
Taquile Island was part of the Inca Empire, and some archaeological remains can be seen. This island was one of the last Inca sites that capitulated to the Spanish in the 16th century.
Later it was taken in the name of Emperor Charles V and finally passed to the court of Pedro Gonzales de Taquila, from whose surname its name is derived. The Spanish banned traditional Inca clothing, for which they wear a peculiar outfit.
