Welcome to a full-day adventure that will transport you to the heart of Lake Titicaca’s cultural and natural wonders – the Uros Floating Islands and Taquile Island. Nestled in the Peruvian Andes, Lake Titicaca is not only the world’s highest navigable lake but also a cradle of ancient traditions and breathtaking landscapes. This experience promises to be a journey of discovery and immersion, offering a glimpse into the unique way of life of its indigenous communities.
Our full-day Uros and Taquile excursion begins with a captivating visit to the Uros Floating Islands. These remarkable man-made islands are constructed entirely from totora reeds, which grow abundantly in the lake. As you set foot on these floating marvels, you’ll step into a world where tradition meets innovation. The Uros people, known as the “Water Tribe,” have maintained their way of life for centuries by continuously adding new layers of reeds to their islands. This sustainable approach to living in harmony with nature is a testament to their resilience and ingenuity.
During your visit to the Uros Islands, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the friendly locals. You’ll learn about their unique customs, the art of reed weaving, and the significance of the lake in their daily lives. It’s a chance to gain insights into a culture that has thrived in this challenging environment for generations.
It is advisable to be in Puno, 1 day before starting the trip, due to altitude conditions. As long as you take the time to acclimatize properly in Puno, i.e. just rest on arrival, you will probably only experience mild effects, but you are at 3800 meters and the hike on Taquile Island will make you wheeze, so take it easy.
