Lake Titicaca is located between Peru and Bolivia. It is the highest navigable lake in the world; you will sail around its waters.

Puno - Islas de los Uros

  • 2h
982 We will pick you up from your hotel in Puno's historic centre between 6:45 and 7:00 AM. Before boarding the motorboat to the Uros Islands, we will make a brief stop at the dock where you can purchase snacks and bottled water. Once on board, our guide will introduce himself and the boat captain before giving you an overview of the itinerary on Lake Titicaca. Our first stop will be the floating islands of Uros. During the journey, you will see totora reeds growing in the lake. When the boat docks, the island chief will demonstrate how the islands are constructed from totora reeds and share a few words in Aymara. The locals are known for their handicrafts, which you will have the opportunity to purchase. You will then have the option to take a totora reed boat (15 Soles) to the main island of Uros and have your passport stamped as a souvenir. From here, we will begin our boat trip to Taquile Island. You can walk to the upper deck of the boat and take photos of the floating islands.

Isla Amantani

871 Upon arriving on Amantaní Island, you'll be greeted by local families who will warmly welcome you into their homes. You'll enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with fresh, traditional ingredients from the region. Later, you'll explore the island with a hike to the sacred temples of Pachatata and Pachamama, located at the highest points, where panoramic views of Lake Titicaca and an unforgettable sunset will leave you in awe. On your return, you'll enjoy a home-cooked dinner in a cosy atmosphere before immersing yourself in the local culture with a lively peña, or fiesta, filled with traditional music and dances that will make this a truly unique experience. You'll spend the night in a simple family home with basic but comfortable amenities, allowing you to connect authentically with the Quechua community and their way of life.

Day 2: amantani island and taquile island

In the morning, you'll enjoy breakfast prepared by your local hosts, concluding your experience with the warmth and hospitality that characterises the Amantaní community.

Taquile Island

  • 5h
On Lake Titicaca lies Taquile Island, where local villagers have created a thriving industry of woven handicrafts, primarily crafted by the men of the community. Taquile is home to a Quechua population of 2,000 people, who are mainly farmers, fishermen, and renowned weavers. Contrary to the traditional view of weaving as women's domain, on Taquile, it is the men who perform much of the delicate work with the thread. We will also be invited to watch and dance with the local villagers, performing their traditional dances. Afterwards, we will continue our walk to a local restaurant for lunch. After lunch, around 2:30 PM, you will board the boat back to Puno. At approximately 4:30 PM, the boat will dock at the Puno pier, where we will meet you and transfer you back to your hotel in the city's historic centre.
