Overview

The shimmering blue waters of Lake Titicaca are home to the famous, man-made Floating Islands of Uros. These islands and their dwellings, which date back to a pre-Incan time, are made completely out of totora reeds, a native bulrush plant that grows in the lake. With a guided tour, get to know the inhabitants that have formed a small community and learn how these islands stay afloat. During the afternoon, visit the island of Amantani and experience the unique culture of the locals.

Itinerary

  • Uros Floating Islands

    We will be picking you up from your hotel within the historic centre of Puno between 0645 and 0700 in the morning. Before boarding the motor boat to Uros Island we will have a brief stop at the boat pier where you can buy some snacks and bottled water. Once you would settle in the boat, a local musician would welcome you with an Andean Folkloric music. Our guide would then introduce himself and the captain of the boat before giving you a brief about the day’s itinerary on the World’s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca. Our first stop will be at the iconic floating islands of Uros. During the journey from the mainland to one of the Uros Islands, you can see totora plants that grow on Lake Titicaca. These constitute the basic source of food and, at the same time, they serve as a maintenance system that the Uros have to perpetuate the existence of the islands As the boat would dock in, local women dressed in the local attire would extend a warm welcome to the place they call home. The head of the island would then demonstrate how they build these islands using totora plants and would share a few words in their native language (Aymara). Natives here are known for their handicrafts, so you may buy some if you would wish to. You will then have an option of sailing on the traditional totora reed boat (10 Soles) to the main island of Uros. If desired, you can get your passport stamped here as a souvenir. From here, we will start our boat ride to Taquile islands. You may walk up to the open deck on the upper level of the boat and get some photos of the floating islands that you would be passing through.

    1 hour

  • Taquile Island

    Breaching the green waters of Peru’s Lake Titicaca is the little mound island of Taquile where the local villagers have created a steady industry of knit handicrafts, which are knit by the men of the community. Taquile is home to a Quechua population of 2,000 people who are mainly farmers, fishermen and above all renowned weavers. However, unlike the often tragically traditional view of knitting and textile work as the demesne of women, it is the men of Taquile Island who do much of the delicate thread work. The craftwork is divided between weaving and knitting; women do the weaving, while the knitting is the man’s work. We will stop for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch at around 02:30 PM, you will be boarding the boat back to Puno. At approximately 04:30 in the evening, the boat will dock in Puno’s boat pier. We will meet you upon your arrival and will drive you back to your hotel within the historic center of the city.

A perfect day trip to visit the hidden gem of Lake Titicaca

Published on Nov, 2024

We did this full day tour of Lake Titicaca with Planet Odysseys and enjoyed every single moment of the tour. The guide was incredibly nice, welcoming and friendly and spoke good English. He went above and beyond in making this a memorable experience. His knowledge about the local traditions and culture was impressive. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. The tour was very well organized as well. We visited two different islands, including the renowned floating islands which were on the top of our bucket list.

Visita Titicaca Lake and relax!

Discovering the Magic of Lake Titicaca: A Perfect Day Trip

Published on Nov, 2024

My day trip to Lake Titicaca was unforgettable! Visiting the Uros Islands was definitely the highlight. Learning about their fascinating history and how people live on floating reed islands was so interesting. The boat ride had amazing views, and Amantani Island was a perfect peaceful break from the busy city of Puno. The locals were really warm and welcoming, and I loved how immersed I felt in the culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puno for a truly memorable experience!
