Uros & Taquile Islands Tour

One of the most ancestral tribes of America and incredible landscapes star in this excursion to the islands of the Uros and Taquile. We'll travel from Juliaca, enjoy a boat ride and learn about the history of the people who live in Lake Titicaca.

Uros & Taquile Islands Tour

At 6 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Juliaca and head by minibus to Puno.

After an hour's drive, we'll approach the shores of Lake Titicaca and board a boat to the Uros islands, which are protected as cultural heritage of Peru. This floating archipelago is artificial.

We'll spend an hour and a half visiting these islands built with aquatic plants by the Uros, meeting the local population, descendants of one of the oldest ethnic groups in Latin America, and discovering their traditions and beliefs.

Next, we'll set course for the island of Taquile. We'll explore this land for an hour and a half along its trails and admire its crop terraces while learning about its textile art, declared 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by Unesco.

We will have a lunch in Taquile consisting of a starter, a main course, and a soft drink. Once your appetite is satisfied, we'll return to the boat.

We'll finish the excursion at 3:30 pm, returning you to your hotel in Juliaca.

2-Day Tour

If you want to dedicate more time to visit these places, this 2-day tour is ideal. The first day includes exploring the Uros Islands, having lunch, learning to fish with locals, and spending the night in a traditional hut with dinner included.

On the second day, after breakfast at 7:30 am, we'll head to Taquile, visit its market, learn about its customs, and after lunch, we'll return to Juliaca, arriving at 3:50 pm.

Tour ending in Puno

If you prefer, instead of returning to Juliaca, we can finish the tour in Puno, dropping you off at any central location or hotel of your choice.
