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, recognized as cultural heritage of Peru. This floating archipelago is artificial.
Spending an hour and a half on the Uros islands, we will meet the descendants of one of the oldest ethnic groups in Latin America and learn about their traditions and beliefs.
Next, we'll proceed to the island of Taquile, where we will walk for an hour and a half along its trails, enjoying its terraced hills. We will also learn about the textile art recognized as 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by Unesco.
A lunch in Taquile will include a starter, a main course, and a soft drink. After lunch, we'll return to the boat.
The excursion concludes at 3:30 pm, returning you to your hotel in Juliaca.
