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 board a boat to the Uros, a culturally protected and artificial floating archipelago.
We'll spend an hour and a half visiting the islands, meeting the local Uros population and learning about their traditions. Afterwards, we will head to the island of Taquile. We will spend another hour and a half walking along its trails, admiring the terraced hills, and learning about its textile art, recognized as 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by UNESCO.
A lunch consisting of a starter, a main course, and a soft drink will be provided in Taquile. After lunch, we will return to the boat and complete the excursion by 3:30 pm, dropping you off at your hotel in Juliaca.
2-Day Tour
This 2-day tour allows for a more in-depth exploration. On the first day, we will visit the Uros Islands, enjoy lunch, and learn local fishing techniques. The afternoon will be free, and you will spend the night in a traditional hut with dinner included.
On the second day, after breakfast at 7:30 am, we'll visit Taquile Island's market and learn about local customs. After lunch, we will return to Juliaca, arriving at 3:50 pm.
