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 that will take us to the islands of the Uros, protected as cultural heritage of Peru. This floating archipelago is actually artificial.

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

Afterwards, we'll set course for the island of Taquile. We'll breathe the peace and tranquility of this land for an hour and a half walking along its trails and admiring its hills, full of terraces for crops. We'll learn about the textile art of this place, declared 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by Unesco.

We'll enjoy 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, dropping you off at your hotel in Juliaca.

2-Day Tour

This 2-day tour is ideal for those who want to spend more time visiting these places. On the first day, we'll explore the Uros Islands, have lunch there, learn how to fish with the locals, and you'll have the afternoon free to sleep in a traditional hut with dinner included.

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

Tour ending in Puno

If you prefer, we can finish the tour in Puno instead of taking you back to Juliaca. We'll drop you off at any central location or hotel of your choice.
