Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands | 2 Days and 1 Night in Lake Titicaca Tour

07:00 a.m. We will start the day picking up passengers from their hotels and the Plaza de Armas in Puno to go to the dock, where we will begin our lake excursion to the floating islands. The tour by tourist boat to the Floating Islands of the Uros lasts approximately 25 minutes.

The Uros Islands are a set of floating platforms built with totora reeds, an aquatic plant that grows in Lake Titicaca. These islands are formed by placing layers of woven totora on floating root blocks, creating unique living surfaces. The Uros, an ancestral people who inhabit these islands, keep alive a culture linked to the lake, based on fishing and the diverse uses of totora reeds, traditions that have endured for more than 2,500 years.

After exploring the Uros, we will continue to Amantani Island, enjoying the impressive views of Lake Titicaca, known as the Sacred Lake of the Incas. During the trip, you will be able to observe the life of the local inhabitants, who preserve their customs, rites and traditional dress.

12:30 p.m. We will arrive in Amantaní, where we will enjoy a typical lunch in rural houses offered by local families. Afterwards, you will have an hour at leisure to explore the island, capture photos of the landscape and enjoy its tranquility.

14:30 p.m. We will meet at a designated point to begin a hike to the Pacha Mama and Pacha Tata ceremonial temples, from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the lake and the island.

18:30 p.m. We will return to the family homes to enjoy a traditional dinner.

08:00 a.m. Departure to Taquile Island by boat.

09:00 a.m. We will arrive at the north pier of Taquile, where we will begin a walk to the town. Taquile Island was part of the Inca Empire, and you can still see archaeological remains that testify to its rich history. It was one of the last Inca strongholds to resist the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Later, it became the property of Emperor Charles V and then to the court of Pedro Gonzales de Taquila, after whom it is named. During colonization, the Spanish prohibited traditional Inca dress, which led the islanders to adopt the peasant dress they still wear today.

12:00 p.m. We will enjoy a typical lunch on the island, and then the guide will give free time for visitors to explore, take pictures and/or visit the Taquile handicraft salon, where they can purchase the famous weavings of the island.

13:30 p.m. We will return to Puno by boat.

17:00 p.m. We will arrive at the lake port of Puno, and we will leave you near the Main Square, concluding this fascinating tour.
