ITINERARYITINERARY

You will be picked up around 06.45 am at your accommodation in Puno and will head towards the port - there, a boat will be waiting for you. We set off sailing across the beautiful Lake Titicaca for the short 30 minute journey to the Uros Floating Islands. Once at the islands the guide will give you information about the islands, how they are constructed, the local Uros peoples and their history. There will be souvenirs for sale made locally on the islands and you will have to free time to take photos.

We will then set off on a 2.5 hour-journey across the lake until we arrive  to the Island of Taquile and the guide will take you around the village - you will have the chance to visit and listen to the history of the place while walking around the main square. You will visit the typical and renowned centre of textile production that made Taquile gain a place among the UNESCO world's heritage sites. We will have lunch break around 12.30 and the ferry back to Puno leaves at 14.30, arriving at around 17.00.
